Locked up tight in a lover's cage Easy target for all his rage Lies being continually fed I love you was said Caught in his web Sweetly tainted words he continued to weave How was I ever that ****** naive Blindly continuing to believe Moved far from home and friends, freedom firmly suppressed Long sleepless nights and days of no rest As his crazy obsessions slowly manifest Walking on eggshells till the next rampage Locked up tight in an iron cage Easy prey for all his rage Never really knowing why or when the next attack One word taken wrong, my jaw he would jack Kept constantly pregnant, so I couldn't fight back I realize from the outside looking in it's hard to construe People say leave, but they haven't the slightest clue But here on the inside, he means every death threat that's spewed They just don't know that type of griping fear Of keeping your children safe and near While trying to hide all the violence from their eyes and ears What if I left, tried to break free Would he **** me, like he promised with glee Would the kids survive, there's no guarantee I know if he raised them, they would surely be twisted As adults would they follow in his steps, also be addicted I fear their view of love would grow so sadistic I was determined to get my kids out of his hellish cage alive One day my opportunity did faithfully arrive Leaving him to rot in his own putrid cell, while watching us thrive NEVER AGAIN Will I be locked up in a lover's cage NEVER AGAIN Will I be an easy target for rage ©Pauline Morris

A Lover's Cage...... A Lover's Rage
Locked up tight in a lover's cage Easy target for all his rage Lies being continually fed I love you was said Caught in his web Sweetly tainted words he continued to weave How was I ever that ****** naive Blindly continuing to believe Moved far from home and friends, freedom firmly suppressed Long sleepless nights and days of no rest As his crazy obsessions slowly manifest Walking on eggshells till the next rampage Locked up tight in an iron cage Easy prey for all his rage Never really knowing why or when the next attack One word taken wrong, my jaw he would jack Kept constantly pregnant, so I couldn't fight back I realize from the outside looking in it's hard to construe People say leave, but they haven't the slightest clue But here on the inside, he means every death threat that's spewed They just don't know that type of griping fear Of keeping your children safe and near While trying to hide all the violence from their eyes and ears What if I left, tried to break free Would he **** me, like he promised with glee Would the kids survive, there's no guarantee I know if he raised them, they would surely be twisted As adults would they follow in his steps, also be addicted I fear their view of love would grow so sadistic I was determined to get my kids out of his hellish cage alive One day my opportunity did faithfully arrive Leaving him to rot in his own putrid cell, while watching us thrive NEVER AGAIN Will I be locked up in a lover's cage NEVER AGAIN Will I be an easy target for rage ©Pauline Morris
