A Fatal Attraction


They see a monster, but I see perfection He saw content, but I saw an injection Where do I go when I need Protection? Judgment sees bruises but I see affection I rang the bell of baggage then pulled the alarm He can’t be a manipulator with an abundance of charm And I can be in love with a bruise on my arm But where do I go when my everything causes me harm? I know it’s me and I’m to blame If I leave who will strip me from my shame? If I leave who will love and heal my pain? And when I blackout who will call my name? He told me I can’t leave him and destroy all hope I then turned the knob cause I just couldn’t cope To my surprise he started to yank on my coat He then pulled hair, and squeezed on my throat The quietness of my brain formed my Insanity The Love and pain lead to Fatality My Motionless body drifted from Gravity Then reality became his dark twisted Fantasy
