Disturbing that these feelings can come back in the midst of peace. |
Louder Than Sound The silence of abuse Can beat you about It will bruise your eyes And bloody your mouth You will lie in bed untouched and unloved There will be no good memories that you can think of It will knock you down and you'll stay down for the count The strong arm of abuse can choke you out. It has big feet And an arm that can reach Your ribs, your back And anything it can attack. It will beat you as a grain of sand and slap with its hand that old silent devil will put you on its level you will lose your mind in emptiness and pain it can push you over the edge and make you insane no peace will you find in the home or away the power of silence beats on you each day. It has a stare made of knives It damages lives Over and over again, you will say, "it won't happen again." Bodies get weak and you learn a new life. You will never forget how you became his wife He was charming peaceful and a man to desire, When he touched you, it felt like your world was on fire. He treated you so kind. that it blew your weak mind. "Damaged women attract damaged men You see all the signs and still, you pretend." You either become a slave Or end up in a grave . All you will have is your fantasy Of why things can't be like they used to be but he will only see hate And you will deny it because this is your fate. Long ago you decide That's there is no place you can hide. So you cry in silence In the midst of the violence Saying, it doesn't exist Because he doesn't use his fist. |
