You were the abuser,
and I? The perfect victim.
My judgement was blinded by your words.
I could not see
what you were doing to me was wrong.
I blamed myself for what you did
(It wasn't my fault)
and what I felt I always hid.
(I want you to stop...)
You stripped me of my confidence.
You maimed my sense of pride.
Every time you tried to break me down
so that when I saw you frown
I would quiver, tremble in fear.
This went on for over a year.
(Too long...)
You harmed not my body but my mind
Until I wanted to leave my soul behind.
(You're killing me.)
You were the ruthless abuser,
and I? The helpless victim.
Answering to your every beck and call,
(Don't yell...)
Obeying your every whim.
(I'm being good..)
Not speaking a word of protest
Because to you that was a deadly sin.
[This isn't fair!]
So instead I hid the pain within
But when I let it out
You began to shout
Wielding your whip of words and
Hurting me so savagely
Because it seems
I was not allowed to have feelings.
So you tried to **** my soul, my personality.
[No!]
But I wouldn't let you win.
[I'm not taking this again!]
And now we have reached our end.
My wounds are healed but scars still linger.
(Goodbye)
You are no longer my abuser,
and I? I am free of your tyranny.
