His Castle, Her Prison

  Memorized by his charms,

He captured her heart and soul.

With a promise of lasting love,

He placed upon her head a crown.

  Adoration gleaming in his eyes,

He introduced her to his friends.

Proclaiming her his Princess

Vowing always to be her Prince.

  The crown placed upon her head

Became one forged of fear and pain

With the promise of more to come,

His Castle became her Prison.

  Light turned to darkness,

Gloom would come to visit.

His charms turned to rage.

Her heart and soul prisoner.

  Release sought from despair,

She turned within herself.

Seeking relief from her Hell.

By ending her suffering on earth.

(Music "Only Women Bleed")

No one should ever have to live in the Hell created by an abuser.

If your are victimized by domestic violence seek help.

Do what ever is necessary to protect yourself and those you love.

Break away the chains that bind you and live in freedom from fear and pain.
