The last time I saw that look in your eyes
I was hiding in my corner,
you had shown me how you felt
by wrapping me with your anger
You said that you could not love me
if all I felt was fear,
how can I not be afraid
when you break what you hold dear?
Two black eyes and a broken wrist
was all I had to show,
why do you do this to me
when I know you love me so?
I see the hurt in your eyes
every time you raise your hand,
it seems you are forced to do
the thing that makes you damned.
I know you see your family
watching from high above.
You know I'll never leave you,
not through fear but love.
So this is my last message
the one I'll leave for you
If you don't control yourself
there's only one thing I can do.

Anyone who hits you like that and causes that much pain doesn't love you, trust me. It's not worth your time.
