Your words come raining violently down
Slapping my back and punching me in the face
As puddles of tears gather around my feet
But you don't stop
Continuing on like you are trying to kill me
Your hateful words stabbing me in the heart
And just yesterday you told me you loved me
Puddles of blood and tears pooling around our ankles
And I cannot speak
Trying to find a way to ease this pain
Trying to find refuge from the floods
Only one place to hide...
Lover's rock
One by one each limb grows numb to your words
You are losing this battle and losing me with each command
I AM NOT YOUR CHILD!!!
You wouldn't let me have him
No matter how much I wanted him
You told me NO.
Then I said I didn't need you...
That it was my body and I could do what I wanted
WRONG MOVE!!
No more words
You are physically coming after me
Slapping, punching, hurting me
Then as fast as it started it ends
You crawl into a tiny ball, crying
Whispering.. how sorry you are
And telling me why I can't have this baby
Because you aren't ready for him
You don't feel you can be the man he will need you to be
You don't have a steady job...
And you are not ready to lose your freedom
But you are not willing to lose me
And if this is what I want, what I need
Then he could no longer fight me
He'd deal with it somehow
He opened up to me for the first time
Told me of his fright while he cleaned my bruises
But there would be no baby...
He was lost in the struggle
I understand my beating
And remain with him...
Because I am not willing to lose him either...
Forgiven
Slapping my back and punching me in the face
As puddles of tears gather around my feet
But you don't stop
Continuing on like you are trying to kill me
Your hateful words stabbing me in the heart
And just yesterday you told me you loved me
Puddles of blood and tears pooling around our ankles
And I cannot speak
Trying to find a way to ease this pain
Trying to find refuge from the floods
Only one place to hide...
Lover's rock
