Silent Violence
I wanted to be good,
Good to see,
I wanted to meet those expectations.
I hope he'd notice me.
I forgot that words could hurt so bad,
My mind so foggy and untrained.
How could someone you love hurt you without the physical pain.
Did he forget that I was alive?
Will he respect me this time?
Am I worthy of the love he gives?
Sometimes he makes me feel like I don't want to live.
I've been to the hospital once or twice,
I thought heaven would be pretty nice.
After he saw me in so much pain,
he told me he wanted to make a change.
He did for a while,
it made me smile.
It was like falling in love all over again
I realized his ploy after it was to late.
Don't ever let someone lead you to make this mistake.
