A Deer In White Headlights


 

 

I am a deer in white headlights

I pray she misses every time

With her driving behind the wheel most nights

 

I am left with no rights

She yells as if I have committed a crime

I am a deer in white headlights

 

I am left defenseless as I lie in the street with my body covered in her bites 

This is when she is at her prime

With her driving behind the wheel most nights

 

The damage she has caused is irreversible, no one can repair me, not even a couple of knights

She has made it clear I am not worth more than a dime

I am a deer in white headlights

 

Her Insults penetrate me after our fights

And after every fight I’m tossed to the grime

With her driving behind the wheel most nights

 

A terrible accident to have hit me, she writes

Some nights I pray she might not drive by and simply resign

I am a deer in white headlights

With her driving behind the wheel most nights
