A Battered Woman's Mind
I am so sorry baby
For all of the pain, I caused
I'm not sure what I ever did
I am not sure what went wrong
Your words were constantly stabbing me
Over and over like a sharp knife
In my head, I kept telling myself
This can't be my life
You hitting me constantly
With your large manly fists
I am blacking out
Was there something I missed
Staring at me with no love
Your dark eyes didn't blink
I allowed you to kill all my spirits
This is love I think
My head is hurting
The skin beneath my eyes swollen black & blue
Asking myself over and over
What did I do to hurt you
Baby, I'm sorry please stop hurting me
I love you I didn't mean to hurt thee
I promise I won't do whatever I did again
Baby, you are the only one
Baby, you are my man
Your eyes black filled with so much hatred
Your mouth sharp words filled with swords
You are punching and smacking me
I am trying my hardest to avoid
Tears streaming
My eyes red and stinging
Heartbroken your fists have spoken
Blood in my throat
Now I am choking
Thinking is this love
His man made knots all over my body
Asking myself Is this the love I should be proud of
Lost
Pain is the only thing I feel right now
How can I really be your wife
I am So lost and so confused
Wondering will this always be my life
