Thunder
Slaps of thunder upon my face
shades of violet cover my neck
my lowered head falls in disgrace
Tear stained cheeks and swollen eyes
i have listened to so many lies in disguise
a broken bone a bruised heart
why didn't i see it from the start
blinded by the hope that someone could love me
who you are i could not see
you,ve heard me scream ,you've heard me cry
you didn't care that i wanted to die
because of you i can not trust ,believe or see
i am unsure of whom i am suppose to be
i look over my shoulder all around
so afraid of everything,even just a sound
the bruises will fade,the bones will heal
but the fear and the pain is all i feel
you took so much away from me
what hurts the most is you took my dignity..
