My Torment

You can hurt me no longer cause I'm not there
And your blank expression shows you don't care
My love hurt so much it made me cry
The pain I felt was never a lie

It started so well on our first few dates
Convinced as I was that we were soul mates
But the darkness you hid behind those eyes
It shattered my dreams and caused my demise

The odd little word here and there
Progressed to prodding then pulling hair
Slapping and punching soon entered the game
As you stood over me screaming a name

The only thing I did was to love you too much
But your darkness inside destroys everything you touch
Cuts and bruises I hid them all for you
Lying to friends but I guess that they knew

As much as I tried I just could not please
And your constant abuse brought me to my knees
My fight was gone and my nerves were shattered
So now my escape from you was all that mattered

I could not leave cause you wouldn't let me go
And there was no place to hide that you didn't know
So with a heavy heart I drew the blade across my wrist
And I left this life where I wouldn't be missed
