I'll Breathe Once More

You stare right back at me all day
reminders of how you betrayed
and now my heart the price does pay
I was your prey, I was your prey.

At first you treated me so fine
red roses and the sweetest wine,
soon shivers ran right down my spine
you were a swine, you were a swine.

From gentle touch to savage knocks
I then became your hitting block
with every word you'd truly mock
I was in shock, I was in shock.

For you had found another toy
your actions set out to destroy
I merely was your whipping boy
almost destroyed, almost destroyed.

I have to burn your picture now
to hurt me I will not allow
I'll live again, I don't know how
this is my vow, this is my vow.
