Free Cee I Realized I Was Being Brutalized

I REALIZED I WAS BEING BRUTALIZED

she beat on me, not my body but my mind
with lies, deception, akin to a pro
i loved her, and that was the bind
because i had no money and nowhere to go

every night she would pummel me
with words that were totally untrue
but i had no defense for i was a junkie
and that's the only thing she knew

so she took advantage of my fragility
she knew i'd put up with what she had to give
then she exploited my extreme frailty
because she knew it was a chore for a junkie simply to live

she brutalized me and enjoyed her insults and deeds
even though she professed to loving me
she would also get pleasure denying me what a junkie needs
so "stay with me or face the consequences" was her final decree
