I sit here in a room so cold
In the dark I await to confront my fear
I remember how I was always told
To be strong and never shed a tear
It started with a small argument
Which heated to a fight
I tried to stop you, I tried to calm you
But I landed bruised that night
I wanted to walk out
You promised me you had never shout
You begged for me to stay back
Assured me you had get our life on track
Your promise lasted for a day
You went back to your old way
I wished I had the strength to move on
I wished I had known all your love was long gone
My days became dark
My nights I no longer saw
The wounds cut in so deep
Seeing them a stranger could weep
I hide from the world
I walked away from friends
Ashamed I would pretend
Like things were fine
Making others believe the fault was always mine
My pain seems far my grief is nothing
When I see their innocent smile
When I feel their gentle touch
They take away my sorrow
They make me want a brighter tomorrow
I have to protect them
I have to keep them safe
I want to surround them with affection
And secure them with love
In them I never want to see your reflection
I make a promise to myself
To get out of this hell
I have to be strong
I know I can no longer like this can carry on
As the rays of sunlight pierce my eyes
My heart skips a beat
As door opens wide
Footstep become more clear
His breath seems so near
As he walks up to me
I plunge down my anger straight into his heart
I can feel the warmth of his blood
For the first time in his eyes fear I see
I want to tear his soul apart
For all that he has done to me
