My face is frozen in misery,

I’m done, I’m finished, let me leave,

The sword will not stay sheaved.

Let me go, let me hide,

No-one could understand the pain inside,

I held you so dear,

But you always make me tremble in fear.

What have you done to me?

The cuts are where you can’t see,

Trust me they are there,

‘Cos the pain got too much to bear.

I wanted control, I wanted to feel,

You left me with a pain that’ll never heal,

Our relationship shattered cos you made me kneel,

You held me down, and that night my trust you did steal.

You left me with guilt and shame,

And only myself to blame,

I couldn’t remember, I forgot,

My mind turned empty and I cried a lot.

I feared you, I did what you asked cos you were dominant,

And you knew I was scared, you abused an adolescent,

You hurt me,

You made me bleed.

You gave me hell, you teased me, you mocked,

I started to block,

Out the pain, the words, the curses, and my feelings,

It hurt me that you kept on teasing.

It wasn’t my fault! I didn’t know what you wanted,

How could I? I was twelve and sheltered,

You acted so kind until I resisted,

And you covered my mouth and firmly insisted.

Never will the memory pass,

Ill remember till I breath my last.
