Lies of the Heart

You are in love with him 
There is no one like him
This you should always see 
He is your life and your soul

He beats you mercilessly 
Because he loves you 
There is no one like him 
You know you love him

Stay here and bare it all
After a while change will come
What if he kills me ? 
No he won't , he loves me 

Your kids cry along with you
They hardly sleep and although 
It hurts you , you pretend like it's nothing
"Don't cry mom and dad were playing"

Stay you love him , your love will
Certainly change him , stay .
That's what my heart always said

3 years later i am no more .
6 feet under and my children are motherless.
My own heart murdered me and locked 
Me in a place where the keys are buried

Was enduring the struggle worth it ? 
Did my love have an effect on him ?
Was staying with him the answer ?
The answer is no , I killed myself
