How can abuse be love???
How can abuse be love? 2015
when i got married i was so deep in love
i thought it was a gift from heaven above
but he slowly changed a little each day
making life a living hell in every way
my family realized i was in a lot of trouble
if they helped in any way i'd take a tumble
they would see the bruises upon my face
at night the floor my father would pace
my parents marriage was love and honor
i thought how can abuse be love i wonder
this was not the way life should have been
but how could i have known about all i've seen
the beatings he gave me started out small
one kick, one punch it wasnt much at all
as the month's went by it got worse each day
any thing i did wrong he would make me pay
i had a baby and you'd think he'd be happy but
instead he told me to keep my mouth shut
he wanted me to lie about the bruises on my legs
he pouted and pleaded he even did beg
i had another baby it was a gift from God above
but i was still thinking how can abuse be love
at home later on he looked at me and said
there your responsability im going to bed
you wanted them i didnt he said with a scowel
i lifted my child from her bath with a towel
and looked at her and said with a smile
thats right for you i'd walk a hundred miles
as the years went on the beatings got worse
i felt like i was in jail and my life was a curse
i left him three times but i always came back
and after a few weeks he'd give me a good wack
one day i was crying i couldnt take it no more
but knew he wouldnt let me walk out that door
so i knew there was only one other way out
im done i thought theres no need to pout
up to heaven is where i wanted to go
i looked at him and said no more feeling low
i was thinking of my parente in heaven above
and again i was saying how can abuse be love
i grabbed all those pills and swallowed them
and didnt think twice about where i had been
but it didnt work out the way i had planed
i ended up in the hospital with charcoal in hand
i was yelling i dont wanna be here any more
but the doctor said drink up or in a tube i will pour
my husband on my left didnt even worry
got up and said im in a real big hurry
i was passing out really fast and all i could see
was my husbands back walking out in me
when i woke up the next day it was very clear
i was alone he didnt care or shed not one tear
i made a desision i knew what i must do
i must leave him and fast but never look back
and thats just what i did oh how i had the nack
i had a lot of help from heaven above
but now i do know that abuse can not be love
dedicated to ending domestic violence everywhere
abuse can not be love!!!
