One Lost Love

I cried myself to sleep last night,
Trying to recover from our last fight.

I thought what we had would last forever,
But life wouldn't let me, never.

You told me I was a pathetic imperfection,
And I shouldn't look at my reflection.

I should dress in baggy clothes
Just to make sure no one knows.

I hide my feelings of pain and terror
Just to skip a beating of error.

You would take the leather belt out
Wail on me until I was full of doubt.

You tore my hair out of my head,
When I was to weak to get out of bed.

I have had it with this unbearable pain.
I'll end it right now in this pouring rain.

I took my blade out and made two incisions.
This was my one final decision.

Lights fade, and you run to me.
This is the first time you cared, you see.

Blurry vision, and I collapse on the ground.
Couldn't hear anything, not even a sound.

I feel my soul let free,
You no longer control me.

I am suddenly full of cheer and laughter,
This is my happy ever after.
