She takes time and care
To show her best
He still calls her a mess
She takes longer trying to impress
Shows up late
he yells at her
For making him wait
Pleasing him is of no use
She must be ugly
As she takes on his abuse
Of herself she was so sure
But now so insecure
Exactly how he wants her
Her happiness
He slowly peels away
As with a harness
He steals her will
To ever run away
With a spirit broken she stays
Exactly how he wants her to behave
Until comes the day
She sees through to his abuse
And takes back
What is now broken and bruised
he should always make you
he should always make you feel special
