The Animal

Have I ever told you,

About the fairy tale from Hell?

And the way we're treated,

When all is said to be well.



Stripped of our courage,

We're only here;

To hold acountable,

Our own fear.



He beats,

He bites;

He scratches,

He fights.



Holding; kissing without her say,

To her it's still deniable;

When did it become okay,

To belong to an animal?



The animal, he calls,

He crawls and barks at me;

Innocense is no longer and option,

In a life where they force you to see.



When did we become,

A bone for the dogs to chew?

Why did we settle,

With doing what he tells us to?



She's crying so quietly,

But he doesn't say a word;

His kiss bites her bitterly,

She doesn't know how she's injured.



A worthless object,

Priceless meat;

When did beauty,

Become so discrete?
