Battered Woman's Syndrome

Hurt

Fear

Agony

Defeat

Hatred

Demise

You’ve created this darkness in my eyes

Who gave you the right

To control all my actions?

Then you have the gall to be surprised by my reactions?

You caused pain in my body

You triggered fear in my head

Everyday I wake up now

Hoping that YOU’RE dead

I loved you and gave you all of me

You only wanted more

And when you didn’t get your way

You drop me to floor

You ignored my innocent tears

But you begged for me to stay

You called me spoiled, bitch, slut

Because you couldn’t get your way

I did nothing to deserve this

And you’ve left me so terrified

I watch my back and avoid phone calls

All day I cry inside

Thinking my man will hurt me

Put his hands where they don’t belong

How do you think I feel?

Knowing that I’m wrong

Not every man will hit me

Not every man is like you

But I swear I’ll do things differently

I know what I gotta do

Just stay away and leave me alone

Don’t call and don’t come by

I’ll get through this nightmare

And I will no longer cry
