*Safe*

I tried to believe but you deceive
I count the lies over a thousand times

I try to leave but it's just something that can't be done
I tried over and over, To tell you what I mean

I wanted a mother..someone to teach me

The only thing you taught me was to not believe the lies
The only thing you taught me was to concieve the lies myself

What is there to say to you?
What can I do to make it up to you?

I left that place in search of myself
What my mindset was that I never

In my whole entire life wanted to hurt you
I hated the yelling and the fights

I hated the man who bruised my pride, my pride to stand up for you
You once said you loved me and would do anything

Anything to keep my safe
Well then why do you continue to do this?

Continue to live with him?!?

I only wanted to be safe
Safe from the fist that hit my face, oh so often, and that hurt you

Safe from the verbal abuse
Safe from him and yet...safe from you.
