Forcing Love

Darkness falls over my face
My heart surely cannot keep its pace
I swear I'll never leave this place
With ropes tying my limbs

I thought this love was meant to last
Days with him seemed to never pass
With fear, my breathing goes so fast
His actions on a whim

My family will never know
That my face, I'll never show
As my tears begin to flow
I see his shadow down the hall

A smile seems to grace his lips
Ae reaches down and grabs my hips
Without warning, places the tip
And with a groan begins to maul

I grit my teeth before I scream
I swear this pain won't end it seems
I hope this is all just a dream
As my insides start to tear

His whole body starts to tense
I wonder if I've lost all sense
He lets go and his groan is intense
Pulling from me with a sneer.

As he leaves I begin to cry
Always asking myself why
I wish I could curl up and die
Tied and bleeding on the bed

As the blood seeps to the floor
I think my life will be no more
If I live, I will abhor
The nightmares floating through my head

Praying that I leave this shop
Oh please God let him stop
I wish that I had told that cop
As my body starts to shake

My mother's love will never reach me
Daddy's words will never leave thee
I close my eyes to never see
With luck I will never wake.

Done With Love

People always say
All you need is love
But for me
That's something I want nothing of

Over and Over
It's the same as before
They act like they love me
Then leave me for a whore

I'm done with it forever
I just can't stand the pain
Every time this happens
Tears pour out like rain

This time I won't cry
I won't even shed a tear
Because of what you've done
I will never reappear

You did the same as them
And acted like an ass
Any time you talk to me
I'll ignore you and walk passed

I can't believe you did this
I told you that I cared
Instead you chose to ignore
What I had feared to share

Thanks for nothing
You dumb piece of s**t
After what you tried to pull
This is definitely it.

Better Next Time

Happiness I'll never have
Love for me will never last
No one knows the pain I feel
Just a repeat of the past

I let down my guard
When I should have held strong
You fooled me into thinking
Maybe you loved me all along

You found someone new
Someone you could use for play
With no words to me
You'd have eventually walked away

I'll never love another
Unless I know it's true
Hopefully this next time
He'll be much better than you.
