True Man

A true man would know                                    
                 to comfort me 
                 to remove the tears from my eyes
                 to prove that my scars should be a thing of the past
                 to stop be from more bruises
                 to remove the headphones form my ears so i can listen and to 
                                remove them form his so i can speak
                 to say no more to prevent a hangover
                 to prove that violence will only result in more
                 to show me i dont need to risk my life for an adrenaline rush
     how to take care of me
