I condemned to a wall I didn't mind at all told the viscous things of the outside world only pondered my longing dreams I cried at night I missed my mamma but happy to know maybe I'll be let out tomorrow I can't remember the last time I ate or why the soles on the bottom of my feet ache he says he so proud of me it truly makes my heart swell I know no matter what I made him a promise my mama always told me but words are my life thats why when he's friends come over and he tells me don't make a sound I abide any wish he asked of me proudly I chose my words very carefully scared they'll run away from me I hated when he made me cry I hated when he left me for hours and hours turned to night days turned into snow showers I'm always kept alone in the dark in his home I wanted to scream but after time I opened my mouth absolutely nothing came out tonight I got salsa and chips oh how much I love these two dips I savor every drop knowing it'll be 3 Sunday's before I even here a knock I'm cry after I'm done for I know the worst is only yet to come
