I used to cry at the mention of your name
I used to wither when I heard your voice
I used to be collateral in your deadly game
Weak and a pushover; I didn't have a choice
You used me to destroy everyone that cares
You used me to destroy their dreams and hopes
I became the centre of their abuse and stares
I couldn't escape but I was dizzy on a tightrope
I used to flinch at almost every move you made
I used to be afraid to even speak my mind
I used to be so scared; heaven knows why I stayed
I used to think it was love - but boy was I blind
But one Godforsaken day it became all too much
I couldn't stand the evil radiating off your face
And the unbearable pain I felt from your touch
Made me want to burn down this hell-place
And one day my demons whispered in my ear
Something like "do it already. Kill him tonight"
And for once, I felt absolutely no fear
Turns out, it was the only thing I did right
I got away from my nightmare; I got away from you
I got away from my troubles into a new world
A place where no one knew me, where I felt new
Where I felt like a free person; a happy girl
This is my new beginning, in a place where I belong
A place where I can start a life, make my own name
Where I am known for being nothing less than strong
Where my history's in the dark, beneath the ash and flame
AN: HAPPY NEW YEAR awesome readers✨❤️
