Fear Over Love

Everyday I come home and I listen to the criticism

I hear the constant yelling and all of the sexism

And I can feel it rising up my throat

the words I want to say, but can't quote


His evil eyes stare into me as he finally let's me be

But there's so much anger, and so much guilt

Agitating me looks as if that's the only reason he was built


It seems to me that his love is nonexistent

And my fear of him is too persistent

I can never play this and I can never listen to that

Arguing with him turns into going to combat


I just have to let it be because my "friends" drug pressuring couldn't get to me

We both terribly know his methods are working and I can just feel him smirking

I know he loves me but he doesn't express it when push comes to shove

What would happen if he just raised me with love?
