Tear and rip
Blood flows out
Like the juice of a freshly cut orange.

Stop the pain
Cause I’m going insane
And you’re to blame
Like a runaway flame.

Run and hide
Have nothing
Come back
By morning.

You say it’s not my fault
You say you’re sorry
But all the cuts bruises and scars
Tell a different story.

One day you drank too much
And stayed asleep
I packed that day
And tried to leave without a peep.

But you awoke
Grabbed me by the wrist
You broke it
With one twist.

I had a chance to hurt you
With a weapon of my choice
But you would probably mend
Cause the devil always comes back to life.

One day while you were out
I called the police station
You came back to soon
Beat me ‘til I needed hospitalization.

The nurse offered to help me
But I couldn’t endanger her to
No, I had to deal with this on my own
Cause it was my body that was black and blue.

There in my hospital bed
I cried until my eyes were puffy
Then I got out of this havoc
Before you could see me.

Within a day the police were knocking
Guns, mace, and clubs within reach
But the biggest beating you got
Was my speech.

Behind bullet proof glass I told you I was done
With your clouds of abuse
I was sick of being hurt, beaten
And most of all used.

I limped out of police station
With a broken arm, fractured rib and scars that would last forever
But the thought on never seeing you again
Healed all of that and stopped all my anger.
