When we met, how foolish was
I to believe in all the lies.
Under a spell, I fell.
Trusted you, thought I
Was safe. If I only knew.
Broken, battered, unworthy
Disgrace, I believed to be
True, bruises, burns, fear
You won, I became your prisoner
Raped, beating, being told
You're no good.
Children born, fear is stronger
Now, my children I will
See free. Escaped from you
Us three made it out alive.
The nightmares continue
You won again, you became our
Monster under the bed, in the
Closet. We're free physically
Mentally we're still your prisoner
People say abuse can't do
That to you. Have they
Seen a child's grave,
Mother's grace?
We were lucky, we got away
With our lives, just not
Our minds.
