No more endless nights......

From the day I was born
I was pronounced dead
From the day I was born
Thoughts of death ran through my head.

I listened to you scream
I listened to you fight.
You haunted my dreams
I could never sleep at night.

I hid the bruises
underneath my clothes
I had to hide my tears
I could never let them show.

I had to be strong.
I could not let go.
I knew what you were doing was wrong.
I just couldn't let any one know.

I saw you hit my mommy
I try ed to help her too
You slapped me across the face
and I didn't know what to do.

You slammed me through a table
And the tears started to flow.
Blood scattered across my face
I had no where to go.

No one wanted me
a lonely little girl
No one ever saw
The pain I held inside.

I try ed to run away.
I didn't get very far.
You caught me within a day
Hiding at my uncles bar.

What a stupid mistake that was
Because you beat me even more.
I had no where else to go
My happiness hidden behind a closed door.

I've never really recovered
From the hell you put me through
I've never forgiven you
For the things you used to do.

Painful memories
and many lonely nights.
For now I guess that I'm OK
I hope that you have learned your lesson.

And finally they'll be no more endless nights.....
