To the outsiders you’re a lovely man
“He could charm a bird from the tree”
The life and soul of the party
Ask anyone! They’d all agree!
Sometimes the passion overflows
But I know you really love me
My mother tried to warn me off
But it’s love! Why can’t she see?
I sometimes make you angry
I try my hardest to please you
I don’t mean to make you upset
But it seems I somehow do.
It started off with a little shouting
And throwing in some names
It’s a little more complicated now
It also includes mind games
My back against the cold wall
With your hand around my neck
Fear running through me
I feel I’m a nervous wreck
Your eyes bulge with anger
Your lips, a narrow slit
You spit out every word at me
I’m alone in my black pit.
Bruises run along my arms
But they’re covered from prying eyes
He won’t hit me where people can see
Oh no, he’s far too wise!
If I ever think of leaving him
He told me I’d end up dead
No one else would want me
He’s drummed that into my head
“Come outside or I’ll drag you out”
I better do as I am told
“Take off your clothes. Sit on the balcony”
Naked and alone, I’m vulnerable and cold.
Inside I scream for someone to help me
Please take this monster away!
I’m going to die living like this
Or I might just kill him one day!
Theres no point in leaving
Plus I’ve no where else to go
I also don’t want to hear a chorus
of “I told you so!”
So now I look down on my lifeless body
The funeral parlour did well!
She was involved in domestic violence?
Looking at her, you’d never tell………..
