The Doll on Your Shelf
I've watched him beat you
day after day
I've heard you cry yourself to sleep
night after night
I've heard his false words
he doesn't love.
You defend yourself to no avail
alcohol's too much
He's really confused ***,
he is lost.
I've seen it all babe,
it's not over
there's nothing I can do
I am only
plastic wrapped in silk
only for you.
I've seen the blood you let
stain your wrists
I've felt the chill in the air
when he's around
but I've been there too,
it'll be okay.
I'd stop it myself
but I'm merely a doll
propped up on a shelf.
For a contest contest about a fly on the walls perspective. I know I changed it up a bit but this angle called to me more than the fly...
