But for the very last time...... |
Tonight was the last time I'll feel your wrath For your ill rampage was above compare I lie here bleeding amongst shards of glass This time I'm broken beyond all repair With a drunken drawl, you spewed out harsh words Accusing me of blame, you said I'm crass This time I'm broken beyond all repair I lie here bleeding amongst shards of glass Your boot unto my breast, a surly hit Silently, I send up a pleading prayer I lie here bleeding amongst shards of glass This time I'm broken beyond all repair You pulled me back up with violent rage I've seen a side of you that no one has This time I'm broken beyond all repair I lie here bleeding amongst shards of glass A forceful shove sent me through the window I whispered to God to end the nightmare I lie here bleeding amongst shards of glass This time I'm broken beyond all repair Through rugged breaths, I heard your truck fire up Sweet tears of irony, freedom alas! This time we're broken beyond all repair I lie here smiling amongst shards of glass This is a Mirrored Refrain style poem. The Mirrored Refrain is rhyming verse form constructed by Stephanie Repnyek.
