Nightmare - Dedicated To My Husband

I am running from a iniquitous force Feeling his fiery breath on my neck I am so tired of trying to escape from it I am so tired of being trapped in this gloomy abyss Chained to his endless interrogations Where no answer I can ever give will satisfy his fury Twisting every word that parts my lips Transforming my syntax from what I mean to convey Into an interpretation all of his own creation Cold and callous An unforgiving heart lies inside him For there is a record of every sin That I have ever committed against him And no punishment he ever gives me Will erase them in his mind All of my past transgressions become ammunition That will be used against me whenever he sees fit As a diabolical method to destroy me Inadvertently by my own hand Plans of vengeance consume his thoughts For he is the mastermind With his own type of justice He does not dispense his chastisement In an equitable manner The Biblical eye for an eye Is just the beginning of his wrath For he cannot sojourn there The intensity and duration of my penance Is completely at his discretion And even though I paid my penalty today That does not mean that he will not be ready To inflict more torment on me tomorrow For the same crime for which I have already received punishment
