Imprisoned


Although it may seem normal

He is not the man you knew

He has changed since the beginnning 

He beat you black and blue

 

Not only physically, but mentally too

You both have grown apart

It's like a missing screw 

That he took from your heart

 

Why stay when he doesn't care 

Swinging and fighting

Why is this fair 

Oh no now he is biting

 

So innocent to be imprisoned 

To young to be lied to 

To old to be disrespected 

To heart broken to leave
