Tonight I will
Enjoy my bed
While you lay in yours
I wonder if you regret it all
After the first night when guards closed the doors
When you were on the inside
With absolutely nothing you could do
I still can’t believe the time has come
Punishment for the destruction that comes with you
I never thought it’d be real
You understanding what it feels like
To be a powerless prisoner
Giving everything you got- to still lose the fight
Do you lose sleep over me
Putting you where you belong
Do the voices in your head still tell you I’m in the wrong?
I wonder how many months
It will take to break your spirit
All you have is your thoughts
How many memories till you hear it
The muffled screams, my terrified eyes
Or are your memories filled with stories saying I’m the bad guy
Blaming your true colors on account of being high
While you looked down at me on the floor, beating me just enough not to die
Are you angry with me because I got away?
If you could see me tomorrow do you know what you would say?
I think you would walk right past me
Without even a look
Making me feel like I was nothing
It’s the biggest play from your book
I think about this often
If I had the chance, what would I say
I forgive you for making the biggest mistake of your life
Knowing I’m the one that got away

My head still stings from the drink last night,
I try to say "I'm sorry," but can't seem to do anything right .
Louder than any broken screams.
Is how it feels when she won't look at me.
...
She asked, "Is there a history of abuse with you?"
And I didn't know what to say...
There's always been that thing, like a cloud that won't go away.
Both sides of my family got it, we'd just pretend like it's something other than what it was...
There's burns all down my arm I try and cover up, with a tattoo now that says,
"Pain never hurt me like love."

You will rise again
You have been beaten down
You have been abused
You have been torn down
You have been told you were nothing
You have been told you can’t do it
You are plagued by residuals
You are tormented by demons
You are tortured by nightmares
You are attacked by PTSD daily
You are reminded of it all by your scares
You are so tired of it all
Yet you survived all of it
You continue to live each day
You continue to smile
You continue to thrive
You continue to overcome
You continue to be strong
You continue to rise

Bring out the sage
Pour on the bleach
I’m cleansing my soul
And cleaning my feet
Brushing my tongue
To rid the taste
Of your lies
Stuffing pockets
With the sound
of my cries
Rearrange my life
Clean out my purse
All because of
Your candy cane
Curse.

You lured me in
With your compliments
And trapped me with
your lies
I could never please you
No matter how I tried
The day we tied
The knot to hell
I saw the evil twist
And some years later
I ran
To escape
Your
Fist.

In prison her
Keep her heart, her love in solitary
Throw livid love, beat beauty in her
He says he loves you
