Loving You
Sometimes, I wonder why I loved you.
Why couldn't I see it?
With your eyes so full of hatred,
I was beaten, bruised, torn, and bloodied.
Gongs a ding dong.
I made love to you, out of fear,
I scrubbed and cleaned, just to please you.
On edge, when I heard your truck.
My fear grew, my heart raced.
The hairs on my neck stood on end.
A black hole in my soul,
opened with your touch.
Cut off from the ones who loved me,
you locked me away, like thieved booty.
I could never leave, I had nowhere to go.
I was alone.
Finally, gathered what was left of my sanity,
I left.
I trembled as each second passed,
wondering if you were following.
You lurked in the shadows.
You haunted my dreams,
the One I loved.
Looking back, I wonder...
How did I ever love you.
