I Thought You Loved Me


Hey Honey! You’d say with an evil grin.

I knew something deep within wanted this love to end.

Don’t you know I love you Honey!

Struggling to reply, but I’m afraid to get beaten or even die.

COME HERE NOW as the mood change.

Should I stand up and be brave? Or stay locked away like Cinderella in a cage.

My mind begins to wonder of all distress I have claimed.

I thought you loved me? I thought you loved me?

My thoughts started to chase me, and reality had won again.

You are weak. You are scary. You are a women. He will ALWAYS win.

I thought you loved me they’d say again.

But there is a new and improved me, and I won’t take this abuse again.

I’m done with the fighting.

I’m done with the crying.

I’m done with fake and pretend smiling.

I have conquered the almighty weakness of standing up for myself. 

You can’t control,and you won’t control me.

I know who loves ME and that’s ME!
