~verse1~
Torment is found, in your ways,
Promises fulfilled, then ripped away.
You scarred my face, then killed my heart,
A blow here and there, as worlds came apart.
~vers2~
The mystery of the love you held, no longer lingers,
Visible it’s become, through the bruising of your fingers.
Nothing seems to matter now, as you fight alone,
For I had given you all I have, the treasures I had known.
~chorus~
You’re my choke hold, I cannot breathe,
Every breath struggles, as you terrorize me.
Hands of steel, markings of your love,
Tattooed across my flesh, of what love was
Gripping becomes tighter, I can not breathe,
As I beg for mercy, darkness encircles me.
Slowly I become limp, seeking for a way out,
A little too late, as I blacked out
~verse3~
Tainted ways you kissed me, sour taste of her,
Bitterly it hugs my lips, as the spitting venom stirs.
The taste of her forbidden fruit, lays silently,
Upon the tongue of something foreign, the man before me.
~verse4~
Nights of unsettling, not knowing where you been,
Brings a stirring of anger, a place I’d never been.
Bitter has this fruit become, to the lips of a stranger,
Passion has closed all doors, as you walk in danger.
~chorus~
You’re my choke hold , I cannot breathe,
Every breath struggles, as you terrorize me.
Hands of steel, markings of your love,
Tattooed across my flesh, of what love was.
Gripping becomes tighter, I can not breathe,
As I beg for mercy, darkness encircles me.
Slowly I become limp, seeking for a way out,
A little too late, as I blacked out.
~verse5~
You are the unworthy one, a skilled abuser,
Verbally, physically insane, riding now back seat of a cruiser.
The answer came, when ambulance rolls in,
When asked in a hurry, the monster of this brutal sin.
~verse6~
A slow breath escapes me, as I look to him,
Hands of hate engraved on my neck, as they took me in.
The forbidden love choke hold, stripped me of everything I was,
So as these words are sung “in memory of,”
forget about love.
forget about love.
forget about love.
