Snake in the garden

You look me in the eye and said hi 
You dragged me in with your charm 
You said you were mine 
I thought I was 
But you didn’t want just me
You craved more
So you took more than you could chew
And you spit me out 
You took your knife and told me 
Do what I say 
I did what you said
I expected roses and daisies
But what I got was tears and betrayl 
You almost drowned me 
You tried to ruin me 
You said I was a freak 
You told me again 
"Do what I say,"  
I said "no" 
You said you'd ruin me 
I laughed
I was dragged through the mud 
I was twisted and torn 
I got up and wiped the blood from my once shiny face 
Thinking of you is like thinking of a snake hiding in the garden 
It looks innocent enough 
But it will bite you 
You make me shake until i realize 
I am better 
I am smarter 
I am no longer being dragged 
I won't be yours 
I don't want to be 
Whoever becomes "yours" 
I pray for…
Every night 
Without fail
