The one I once loved, now I fear
I wince and shudder when you're near.
You used to be somebody else
some one who cared about more than himself.
But now the nights are filled with screams
loud shouts, and bangs, and broken dreams.
I run to find a safer place-
you grap me, throw me, hit my face.
The plates you throw shatter, like my heart
physically, mentally, you tear me apart.
Someday soon, I'll plan my escape
instead of hiding behind the drapes
and beating on pillows, wishing it was you.
When I plan this whole thing through,
I will pay you back, ten fold,
and that's the promise that I hold.
