Shadows Light Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Shhhh don't tell a soul Don't utter a peep I have a story That you'll have to keep I'm not that strong I only pretend You've got it wrong My only friend I kept a secret I'm ashamed to say Couldn't leak it It was the only way He said he loved me I believed it was true He couldn't hurt me Now I'm left black and blue Oh not on the outside That would be a sin It's mostly inside Deep down within How did it happen How did it end I was forsaken Now I have to mend He said I was naive My skin made too thin Too many I did believe As if it were a sin He made me doubt my mind And put me up to shame As if I walk the earth blind And only myself to blame With time he was more aggressive And bent me to will To please I grew obsessive My soul grew cold and still Many ways did he control Taking love away Leaving me in this hole I learn to climb out of today I believed he meant the best for me And I was in fact deficient He was my husband you see And I thought all omniscient All the blame has been cast my way He did nothing wrong It doesn't matter what I say He won't let me get strong He said I was an embarrassment A poor wife and mother All excuses for his harassment Escape I have no other When I left bruised and torn He hit below the belt Every eye now looks in scorn Denying how I felt He wears the cloak of victim And turns his hurtful ire As if I was the one that hit him The gossips all conspire They feel my life is forfeit I have made my bed to lie Not allowed to live it And too bad to die A wife does not leave her man Until the dance is done None of them understand In my life there is no sun They tell me it is our fate as women To bear the sin of Eve Our fate to serve men Even if they practice to deceive My head and heart knows they lie But my soul still inquires I've been cast in a die And can't weed out the liars I hide these thoughts deep inside Untangle puzzles at night No one there to confide I'm just too tired to fight. How could this have happened How did it all end I am left saddened Now I have to to mend Shhhh don't tell a soul Don't utter a peep I told you the story You have promised to keep I'm not all that strong I only pretend You've got it wrong My only friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
