Defeat

They say time heals all wounds I found this to be untrue The bruises faded But the aching made it Straight to my head For you I was game And you needed control I stood my ground and still said no How did I let you get too close Just to wrap your hands around my neck "You liked it" you said The pills help me sleep But I still feel defeat And my skin crawls and aches At the though of your teeth When you smiled and Laughed as you held me down I couldn't escape you Or this town So I smoke away the pain I've mastered the straight face And I drown in my anxious thoughts You took what you wanted Your heart is rotted And I was your prey of the night It's dark and I'm Struggling to find some light
