The Life I Chose To Live

Those hands touched me again The vile, disgusting hands I flinch every time they come near me But no one outside understands They tell me I am so lucky To have a man like him who loves me so much If only they knew the truth That I cower and convulse at his touch He sickens me just by looking at him I can't stand the man at all He makes me do things I hate And then makes me take the fall He says that he is sorry After each time he wages war on my body But I no longer believe him He is just a liar who abuses me constantly One day this story will end And the outcome won't be a happily ever after It will be the tragic kind With tears in place of laughter But don't feel bad for me or this life I have I chose this a long time ago I thought it was what I deserved And so I stayed until it was too late to go
