Ill never forget you.

You cut with your eyes.

You said that you loved me.

You only told lies.


Some scars internal,

Mine physical too.

The sufferings eternal,

Mine stems from you.


Not human, but object,

A piece in your game,

Whether verbal or physical,

The abuse was insane.


I pleaded with you.

I cried in my sleep.

Yet still you don’t realize,

You're the reason I weep.


Someone to love me,

To protect day and night,

Is someone I need protection from,

Cause all you gave was fright.


You shall torment no more.

I will not take your wrath.

I will find my freedom,

Get on the right path.


You may have won battles.

But I will win wars.

So goodbye forever.


Signed,

Daughter of Yours

Without music, life would b-flat. <br /> So, what&#039;s the speed of dark?!?

I like the way that the way you rhyme your lines doesn't seem forced, and it all flows. Great work!
