abused


i said no

but you didnt let go

holding on to me

you wouldnt let me be

 

now im stuck with these scars

metal bars

beat across my skin

do i deserve this, did i sin?

 

there is no going back

because if i did id see where i lack

i cant take that guilt

along with the pain that was built

 

you not only murdered by body

but my soul was demolished by somebody

i trusted and loved

now im left with this pain--unloved
