Sharp intakes of breath
Struggling to get out
This life consumes me
Even when I shout
Harsh blows
Pound my body
The cold touch of his hands
Invades my haven
His eyes burn into mine
Under his spell
No where to run
No where to hide
Bruises and scars
Become my life
I work so hard
To not show strife
Under all this pain
I think of you
Your face, your touch
Is what gets me through
Everytime his fist comes down
I stay silent; without a sound
I close my eyes
Feel your embrace
Everytime his lips find mine
I pull away
Feel you with me
And struggle to stay
When he pulls me close
I dream of you
When he says 'I love you'
I miss you
When he is around
All thoughts that are found
Are about you
I try so hard
To do as he wishes
To say what he wants to hear
But the thing is I can't
Because I love YOU my dear.
