Loving pains

I wish you hadn't spoken
I wish i had not heard
all those headstrong words you said
now just seem absurd

you told me to be patient
that i would learn to love
and we were meant to be together
by a higher force above

you said that you owned me
and i thought it was a joke
i realize know you meant it
with every word you spoke

lost in your affection
i was scared to turn away
i knew you were violent
and it was perilous to stay

back then i was innocent
untouched by greedy gains
i didn't know it was possible
to feel such awful pain
