Vanity

You have hurt me for so long
The memories we shared, we’re horrid and wrong
The beatings you forced on me
The rapid rages I bled for
You watched me cry at night
With silent whispers of apologies

{Chorus}
But I know better now, your truth is false
You watch me now from a far away window
Slowly trying to get closer to me
I still remember those beatings, and the screams of insanity

I escaped you're nightmares
In my silent screams my memories remain
The penetration of my agony

{Chorus}
But I know better now, your truth is false
You watch me now from a far away window
Slowly trying to get closer to me
I still remember those beatings, and the screams of insanity

You watch me now from your prison cell
Raping my heart no more
I’m safe from you
But you’re still around that corner
My memories hunt my mind
But you still attack my soul

{Chorus}
We share a common responsibility
To the life we have created
A child so small and true
Pity you will never know her
but someday you will take her to

I feel you no more
Your presence has gone
In your prison cell, you lay there
Feeling my pain
You have felt the silence, and the screams.
They do it to you now
I wish you well my tainted lover
Now you are the mule

Ah, these lyrics arn't for the light hearted. But its about being abused in every imaginable way. However the woman escaped this man and they share a child but her fears still come to light when she fears that when he is released from prison he will come for there daughter and it will all happen all over again. But she feels no more pain because she has went numb and now she sits back and see thats its happening to him now and with great venom at the last 2 lines of the poem. Hopefully you can feel her anguish.

    Ii'd love to hear this put to music, I think it would make it all the more powerful. It's very full of emotion, and it's such a painful subject, good work and good luck
