How Could He?

He let him hurt me He turned and walked away I struggled to be free As he detained me once again He barely let me go, I ran to hide Not letting it show what I was feeling inside I turned to a corner and cried out loud Drinking and partying That's all on his mind While I'm standing in silence Avoiding mankind I wanted to run away, so far away from there For nobody would ever miss me, for nobody would even care I explained it was intentional, he said to just forget it and let it be, but he didn't feel the increasing pain that was bestowed upon me Total discretion is what he professed Pretending I was fine, ignoring I'm distressed I was hurt I was badly shamed And there is no one else but him to blame for making me feel this way inside for turning the other cheek to the tears my eyes have cried I begged him, time and time again To tell this man, to let it end He drank his beer and walked away And for that I'll forgive not another day.
