Death By Love

In that moment I felt all your strife

As I felt the blade of your knife

Cut through the heart of my soul

You never understanding it's true role

 

My blood spilling on the floor

You turned your back on all we adored

What changed that moment of life

Making you see only the blade of your knife

 

Innocence is now but a torrid scar

Everybody's gaze lands on me from afar

You took the beauty from my sleep

Nightmares just make me want to leap

 

You were lord and master of this house

Me and the kids tip toed like a mouse

Your every desire your every wish

I served the next meal upon your dish

 

No longer am I who I was inside

You took away every ounce of self pride

But that moment they took me out that door

My true light and soul started to soar

 

Never again will I feel your pain

No more of my soul will you gain

My spirit soars above the clouds

I now speak my truth out loud

 

I walk this journey now alone

No more sins do I need to atone

This thing: freedom, I this day do feel

No more laughter will you steal

 

My children's innocence need not halt

I must teach them it is not their fault

They must learn to see beauty within

On that day their life will truly begin

 

Now you will understand my cage

There who will put up with your rage

You stare wistful through those bars

Finally we see the beauty of the stars

 

I pray everday to my God above

In his grace I will lay my love

Everyday we become stronger

In fear we live no longer
