The One That I Love

Slam, slam, slam. The sound of my head against the floor. Over and over, will there be an end? I close my eyes tight, Hold on for dear life. Almost over. Almost done. I plead for an end, He screams and yells And beats me like hell. Why me? Oh, poor me. It's over, it's over. I cry out in pain. The one that I love has hurt me again. I make an excuse, A reason to blame. I put on a smile And act through the pain. He tells me it's my fault, But what did I do? I pray it will end, that I will be free, That the one that I love will quit hitting me.
