Like love and hate, pain is a strong emotion
Slowly eating away at your mangled heart
Cuts and bruises cover your body
Same abuse taken day after day
You barely flinch as your already mangled heart
Slowly rips apart
Piece by piece
You no longer know the feeling of happiness
Pain is the only thing you know
He doesn’t know the pain he afflicts
Just a stupid, clueless boy
Everything he does
Affects you in every way possible
So much pain
It overwhelms you
Swallows you
You can no longer breathe
Take one more breath
As you’re pulled under
Never to recover.

Slowly eating away at your mangled heart
Cuts and bruises cover your body
Same abuse taken day after day
You barely flinch as your already mangled heart
Slowly rips apart

You no longer know the feeling of happiness
Pain is the only thing you know
He doesn’t know the pain he afflicts
Just a stupid, clueless boy
Everything he does
Affects you in every way possible
So much pain
It overwhelms you
Swallows you
You can no longer breathe
Take one more breath
As you’re pulled under
Never to recover.
