]]> Heart bleeds
Knees get weak
Her fire lost
She’s trying to find her way
Shattered inside
Yet she smiles
Secrets she hides
Pain so real
Memories burn and scar her
Hoping they soon fade
How much longer
Can she hold on
Till it’s all over
Once again

]]> She’s heard it many times before
She’ll name it all one last time
Her name he’d never call her
When anger took control of his mind
Instead
To him she’d be
Bitch, Fucking Idiot, Dumb Cunt
Stupid, Dumb Bitch, Faggot
Idiot, Fucking Stupid, Fuck Off Bitch

Then the wave of silence came

Maybe this was better for her
Maybe the quiet would calm the storm
Though she wished he’d lay that hand on her
Rather than plan how to tip top across the floor
So many thoughts she came up with
It drove her all crazy
She felt no way of getting out
Leaving this world would just be so easy

If only he spared a moment to get to know her
Maybe then he would see

]]> She felt so uncertain
Her worry it grew so deep
She tried to dig above the dirt
But her roots were so stiff
The dry earth it crushed her
She felt the darkness surrounding her
No one said words
The secrets remained untold
But whispers all around
Like the rustle of leaves dead or old
No one would say
How one should be watered
Or how one should grow
But when the drought came
They were left to bare
The suffering of a challenging growth
Just hang in there they said
Time would tell its story
But what she was lacking
Was assurance of life worth living

]]> She wished she knew
What it truly meant to love
Confusion flooded her mind
The limit for it to stay was not defined
She thought she had him
A friend she could talk from morning to two
About anything and everything
Even the simple things he would pursue
Why was it so hard now
That she’d tip toe around him
His voice was like the thunder
She’d fear and she’d hide from him
Why was it so different
Those eyes she used to get lost in
Now just made her feel captured and trapped
And a piercing feeling it would bring
Maybe it was true that this was not you
That you had not left Adelaide
And were still waiting for me
To go back to you

]]> She’s giving up
Her heart no longer loves
Still it is tied to one
That has no care to fight for what’s worth
Excuses will stay
Reasons for no father remains
But the choice that he makes
Is still one of no change
She can do no more
Effort does not matter
Her eyes that once cried
Are dry like the desert river
Her body she sees covered in scars
For they remain to remind her
It’s not worth hanging on to what won’t last

]]> Loneliness she feels
Loneliness it grows
To separate that longing
Cos love brings pain to one’s soul
She’d give it up
She probably did a long time ago
But hung on to pity
And gave chance a second go

]]> A broken heart
No longer feeling pain
Eyes that cried
Dry tears flow down now
She sits and waits
For a voice unheard
But she does not realize
It will never be found

]]> Wasn’t it meant to be intense love felt so freely
But her heart drummed to a different beat
There was no escape though words were said
The life of her she had to hold in
His hands that bandaged and compressed her mouth
His body that pressed squeezing her air out
When ‘no’ could be said so many different ways
The end still had to come so she went to her safe space
There she would hide till he was done
To give him the pleasure as her tears would run
But when it was over and no words were said
That awkward silence helped her hatred grow instead
She saw the ugliness she never understood
He ended his relief he didn’t need her in his hood
She had to rid the pain she felt inside
Standing in front of the mirror she let it flow from the lines
And for a moment she felt peace inside
Until he came to find love again on another night
