Stolen Soul

Your sad and your ugly Worth not even a life No good as a mother Make a terrible wife I love you my friend You are my world Can we make love? As my skin crawled So we got into bed And I closed my eyes A few minutes of torture A few silent cries He turned on his side When we were done He shut the lights Thanks, that was fun A few moments later He was asleep I took a shower Felt dirty and cheap Every so often There was no fight I enjoyed the neglect Just one easy night On our tenth anniversary He said lets go away We'll celebrate us And we'll find our way With naive dreams I agreed with all smiles To go on this trip Just us for miles! We laughed on the way A few hours a lifetime It was quite lovely Until it reached nighttime When we arrived I put on my dress Your to skinny he said You look like a mess So I opened my bag And I had no doubt A couple of these Are just my way out My hands felt the tingle My head was now clear I said I'll change Will you be happy my dear? Didn't remember that night Then the sun would appear And just as suspected What would I hear Get a hold of yourself Your full of sorrow You make me sick I might love you tomorrow With another day left I knew it would be rough I'll just take one more Then throw away the stuff We drank that night Then I think we got high I loved him so much For him I would die We made love and the slept Then when we awoke From the first word I said Was enough to provoke His veins were alive His blood was on fire So angry at nothing Was it this I'd desire Guess I don't have to tell you It never has changed He did this enough Where my mind was derranged Then one day it happened I rose from the dead I felt something different When I got out of bed It suddenly hit me I remembered my name Now this was scary Overwhelmed with shame Ten years of today Put my soul on display To pick and to poke at For this boy to play A lot of wear on my body But not quite yet broke Put my pieces together For I am no joke My daughters a beauty My son almost a man I'll do it for them I know that I can! You cannot do it You can't provide If it wasn't for me You would have died Thats what he said When we walked out the door For the first time ever I was honestly sure Hope my story ends happy Now that I'm in control The rest is all mine Forget the ten years he stole
