Abuse

1/8/08

It's cold outside tonight

Things got a little out of control

We began to fight

and now I realize its toll

When you're crying

telling me you'll be better

I believe you against all common sense

and give you a second chance

I know I can't say no

I brace myself for the next blow

I know I'm bleeding

clutching at my body

I know I'm crying

falling to despair

I know I'm bruised

I'm tired of this abuse

I'm disgusted with myself

I hide away my shame

I try to wash it away

but I'm the one to blame

I should've pushed you away

instead of burying this degradation

should've found a way to convey

all that was left to say

Please don't hurt me anymore

now I'm just unsure with what to do

do I stop you or let you continue?

you were supposed to be my saviour

so why has this happened?

I know I can't say no

I brace myself for the next blow

I know I'm bleeding

clutching at my body

I know I'm crying

falling to despair

I know I'm bruised

I'm tired of this abuse

I push, I scream

I want you to know what I mean

I want to wake up tomorrow

and find it all a dream

I know I can't say no

I brace myself for the next blow

I know I'm bleeding

clutching at my body

I know I'm crying

falling to despair

I know I'm bruised

I'm tired of this abuse

Shed these tears

lock up the memories

when I look in the mirror

I feel so empty

I know I can't say no

I brace myself for the next blow

I know I'm bleeding

clutching at my body

I know I'm crying

falling to despair

I know I'm bruised

I'm just so tired of this abuse
