Nightmare


Body is My Temple 

And you made it crumble 

Do you not remember 

The pain you caused me inside and out

I stopped caring 

But maybe 

Just maybe someone could’ve stopped you 

How can I live with myself

My body is my temple

I can’t stand to look at another man 

My mind is destroyed 

My body is my temple 

I let go of myself drugs , and alcohol was my get away 

A person like me I’m so simple 

Yet you took something away from me 

My body 

A temple 

Never dreamed that’ll I’ll be the one it happen to 

I can’t stand to go back where it happen 

But now it’s time I tell my real life nightmare
