MOONLIGHT IS TRYING TO SURVIVE

THE SILENT ABUSE

I can still remember all the emotional pains

while I was praying out in the rain,

I remember each hateful word you said to me

even the ones where you wished me dead.

I get chills down my back every time you cross my mind

or when I am asleep having those bad dreams

I start to scream,

praying for someone would hear me, wake me,

while you were doing all kinds of things to me,

I felt I was going to die, everytime I felt your touch,

Oh, I hated it so much...

the chaos you put into my life

and you got away with it by your lies.

Your lies hide behind your eyes...

but I could always read them

the pains that came to me from your abuse

you would tell me I like being used,

through the battle of your tongue

you really thought you have won.
