I see it now
Why you made me fear
I understand exactly
That you were insecure
My bruises
Boosted your ego
My tears
Gave you control
I was your pet
To love or abuse
And at your calling
I paid my dues
My payment for your "love"
Are scars you'll never see
The mental damage you implanted
Make me emotionally bleed
Everytime I argue now
I expect a blow
Across my face or on my arm
Can't you see, don't you know?
You have marred me
Bones and flesh aside
Physical pain I'll take instead
Too many tears I have cried
I see now why there are cutters
I understand what they feel
Pain on the inside is different
It never heals
If I scrape my knee
It will surely get better
If you break my will
You'll get a suicide letter
