Verbal Abuse

by Unseen Exposure   Nov 9, 2004


So it's been a constant headache
To try and make you see
The things you say, and do
Are quite simply breaking me

And I wish that you could know it
But you're too busy to notice
Each and every day you degrade me
It's in your mind, your set, your focus

You act like it's so normal
To go around and call me names
Did you know that one third of all women
Are verbally abused, then blamed?

Does it make you proud to realize
You're an abusive bas *ard on your own?
Making me one out of a three
Who feels worthless and so alone?

I've tried thousands of times to tell you
About the hurt you've put me through
But you're just not listening
And you just don't care, do you?

Did you know your part of the reason
That my insides are starting to die
That these tear stains on my cheek
Are from some of those times you made me cry?

Have you no heart to feel it?
Have you lost those two eyes to see?
That you've made my broken reflection
Become my own worst enemy?

Do you really think I'm a wh *re?
That I'm a no good, unworthy s *ut?
Do you really hate when I talk
And just wish I'd keep my stupid mouth shut?

You're digging me a perfect grave
Six feet beneath those who tread
And sooner or later, I'll stumble
And wind up here, with the dead.

    No one deserves to be treated like that. I've suffered from some of the same things... Well put!
