I watched from a distance as she slit her thighs
Saw the blood run, and watched as she flashed a wicked smile
Lying in the bath, blood dripping from both thighs
Lie back, relax, breathe in the pain, and don't push it aside
Thoughts of peace fill my head, all you’ll feel is bliss once you're dead
I cried, I pleaded, yet she would not stop
Why hurt me because you want out?
Back into my body as they shook me awake
All I feel is a numbing pain slowly going away
I promise never to do it again
I swear it was her, not me, she makes me go insane
I tried to stop her I really did, but what could I do when she sat there determined to win
She laughed at me, called me weak
Told me I don't deserve the love that you have given me
I prayed for God to forgive me
I hope he understands
I want her out, she cannot stay, but how do I make her go away?
Now I sit with lacerate marks, unable to move, I'm paralyzed with fear
Fear of what she could do, she'll ruin me if I don't give in
Lord help me, save me; free me from her malevolent deeds
I’ll do anything, anything just to break free…
