My thoughts always occupied by your beauty Mission in my life was to satisfy your needs Your caring for me was camouflage You made me lose my balance Caught me off guard Longed for your attention I blame my naïve little self How blinded I was from your abuse Your ability to speak harsh words to me and not flinch? Not listening to me and always wanting something from me?
