Mental Abuse

No where to run

No where to hide

No place to shelter

You pushed me aside

Can't cry for help

I've been left behind

Feeling broken and empty

Like a clock you can't wind

You had me on a leash

With your clever facade

And like a naive little pet

For my innocence I have paid

Your kind, helpful remarks

Were replaced with shouts and lies

No longer gullible, I saw

The cruelty in your eyes

Cowering in the corner

I don't know waht to do

Bruises spreading slowly

It's all shades of black and blue

Can't see the right path

I look but I can't find

Searching for the answers

I'm lost in my own mind

No where to run

I know there's no use

No where to hide

From your mental abuse.
