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.
