I lay on the ground
And close my eyes
I have been beaten
To my surprise
Purple and black
Bruises and cuts
I want to speak
But I keep my mouth shut
He starts to kick me
I am still down
Silently screaming
For I am alone
I must make him happy
Must do what he says
If not he will hurt me
And soon I'll be dead
I cant tell the others
I cant say a thing
He is my lover
But the wounds still sting
Calling constantly
Always accusing
Calling me unfaithful
Must expect another bruising
Fast forward two years
I am now safe
But I still remember
My terrible past
