A harsh loves cage

Why are people so cruel?
Why is this world made of hate,
Why cant we just get along?
And run the course of fate,

As I sit here broken,
Praying silently for change
Your answers to these questions,
Keep running through my brain,

CRUELTY IS A VENT
HATE SORTS THE STRONG FROM WEAK
COMPATABILITY IS RARE
AND FATE IS FOR THE MEEK

WHY DO YOU KEEP ASKING?
WHY WASTE YOUR LIFE ON ME?
WHY WONT YOU JUST SHUT UP!
AND LET YOUR HANDSOME LOVER BE,

I squint my eyes, and wipe my tears,
Pretend that I dont care,
But deep in my sole I know,
That its not just the world I fear,

Why do I keep asking?
To find the answers I would hope,
Why am I wasting my life on you?
Gee that must be the dope,

Why wont I just shut up?
Or simply let you be?
My heart is trapped in your cruel cage,
And you wont set me free,

Why else would I stay with you?
The man who beats me night and day,
Who threatens me at dinner,
And then leaves me there to pay,

The charming man who yells at me,
And burns me with his cigar,
Or ties me to the bedposts,
Till my wrists turn red and scar,

Ive cried soo many nights away,
The content victim to your rage,
So Ill sit here quietly,
Trapped in a harsh loves cage.
