Silence I Heard
Silence I heard
You came at me fierce
You came at me strong.
I thought I was good but you made me feel wrong.
I would feel your wrath
didn't know what I did.
You ordered me still
I wish I were hid.
My arms, they curled over my head.
Feeling your wrath
I wished I were dead.
My hair it was pulled.
It came out in clumps.
From your tightly clenched fists
they left all but bumps.
My body left throbbing and hurting inside.
I took all the blame.
To my room I would hide.
There I would cry and wanting so bad
to feel your love, not wanting you mad.
I'd beg you to come and open your door.
All you did was ignore.
You shut me out and loved no more.
Your door
it stayed closed
you'd say not a word.
"I hate you" "I hate you"
was all that I heard.
