Save Him - Justin Nozuka

Justin Nozuka is a talented singer/songwriter who sang the song Save Him which honestly brought me to tears. This song is not only sad but it's also the truth. This song is telling a story about a couple who was in love and how they were living in bliss. In the song he explains how he lived next door to this couple and how he was awakened from his sleep with yelling and cries. She's begging for her life and she prayed " Save him, Save him from the hand that he beats me on." That's the chorus of the song and it really tears my heart hearing those words being sung by him with so much emotion. 


In the song he also explains how she has a child and has become hostage to the man that she loves. When she was a little girl her dad would also beat her and she never really understood why. She would get on her knees and pray saying, " Save Him, Save Him from the hand that he beats me on," She has never really experienced a non abusive relationship, she is so familiar with the abuse that she has learned to accept it. One night he is awakened yet again and this time she was beaten to a point where there was no end to the beating. The next thing he says is -
"Get up, get up", he brings her to her feet,
And smacks her down till she falls to the ground
And over and over again,
He brings her to her feet till she can no longer stand -
And still the beating never ends
On and on and on it goes
Until he brings out a gun
And says to her "stop crying and bring me my son"
She cries harder and harder
He cries harder and harder
She says "baby please don't do this"
Two shots to her chest
And a blow to his own head
She quickly loses breath and blood rushes to their bed and baby cries his eyes out.

And just like that the song ends. The first time I heard it my mind wondered on about how there are really women out there that go through this and how they have no voice. It sent a chill down my spine. It is truly painful to listen to this song because it speaks of the raw truth that no one wants to face. 

Do you remember the song by Babyface and Stevie Wonder titles How come, How long? Its the same scenario about a girl who fell in love with an abusive man who ended her life. He speaks about how she wont have a second try because we turn our backs on the truth. The truth is we might save somebody's life if we didn't ignore the signs. Speak up. 

That's another ramble by yours truly.

Old.

Abyss

I hate you.

The fact that you think you own me,

I’m trapped.

My world is nothing less than a black hole leading to an abyss of emptiness.

You enter the space in which I live in and I feel as though I don’t belong,

Just a walking figure that no longer exists,

The only person who seems to be able to see me is my own reflection.

I am dead.

You have brought death to me.

I no longer breathe your air.

I no longer see your old decrepit face.

My worn out ears no longer eats your masculine voice.

I try not to think.

I try not the feel.

I want to be numb.

One bullet.

That’s all it took for me to escape this misery.

I am free.

I’m flying with a grin.

Looking down on you and how sad your life is.

Now its your turn to wait for death.

Like an old dying tree, yet its life never ending.

Suffer.

This was created quite a while ago.

But I would love some of your feedback (A)
