Abusive Boyfriend

Woke up one morning
After a Saturday night
It turns out
Me and my boy had a fight

He lashed out at me
And then I screamed
Thought to myself
I thought it was just a dream

Looked in the mirror
And saw a black eye
I couldn't help it
I broke down and cried

How could he do this
He broke my heart
He broke his promise
That he made at the start

He promise he would never
Hurt me like this
He punched me in the mouth
Where he used to kiss

Forever together
Is what he said
That was before
He broke my head

The weekends that we used to
Spend together
I guess I didn't see that
They were filled with stormy weather

How could I trust him
After what he did
I must have been
Very stupid

Cause I went back
The very next day
And then he went back
To his old ways

He hit me again
Harder than before
With so much force
I flew to the floor

This didn't make sense
It didn't feel right
He left me with guilt
He filled me with fright

He told me that
I made a fatal mistake
I said I was sorry
But the apology he didn't take

He hit me again
And kicked me this time
He made it sound
Like I had committed a crime

I was so confused
That I couldn't see
Through all the blindness
He didn't love me

I was an object
I was his slave
Then it hit me
Like a tidal wave

I left him
And his hurtful ways
I'm a lot happier
Most of these days

Still haunted by the memories
Of him and what he had done
Now that part of my life is over
My life has just begun
