Taming the Pain

Roses are red violets are blue,
You took my heart and ripped it in two,
Just remember we’re simply over because of you,
For you made me cry,
You made me mad,
You gave me misery I never had.

The first time I should have left,
For I should have known it was gonna come back,
For your temper was high, your temper came fast.
Your temper is what made us not last.

Stupid of me I should have known,
Stupid of me I should’ve never kept on coming home.
You cursed at me, you abused me,
But then you would say, you loved me,
But I was scared to tell you the truth
So I told you I loved you too.
Days on days, months on months, years on years,
You still kept me in fear.

It got to the point, where you’d hurt me so much that I couldn’t feel a thing as I laid on the floor.
The only way I knew I was bleeding
was my carpet wasn’t white any more.
Then you left and went on your way home,
I couldn’t get up,
I couldn’t think
The phone was simply just out of reach.
So I just lay there in pain,
As I lay there in a stain,
Hoping somebody would come to tame this pain,
But nobody came.

Three days had passed,
I missed work,
They called but got only the answering machine.
Til one of my friends, came to check up on me.
My door was unlocked
She walked right on in.
She noticed a huge dent in the wall,
With red smeared all over,
she comes into my bedroom and yells.

A lot has happened from there til now,
Before I forget all of you who love me
Please come and see me for a while.
And just to let you know my funeral is tomorrow.

But now I see something I hadn’t before,
someone had come to tame my pain,
And let me sorrow no more.
For god took me and I’m finally freed.
I love you all like you loved me,
And I hope you understand death was the only way for me.
For sooner or later he would have killed me.
For nothing would have stopped him, not even the police.
That is why being dead ain’t so bad
For there would’ve been more pain ahead.
So this is why I tell you if this is happens to you,
Get out now before you’re dead.
