Abused.

Swings creaking in the wind
I’m staring at nothing, rocking slowly
I want him back
I want my life back

They’re all gone now
I feel the pain again
I need to feel loved again
Everything’s changing for the better
Except me

I can see his face
I can feel his arms
As he held me
Sheltering me from the pain
Of a broken and torn family

Daddy was always fighting and drinking
Mom was always trying to protect me
But in the end
He was the one who took me away
All I wanted
Was to leave all the pain behind
Behind me forever

I was standing there
Watching it all being torn apart
My life is crumbling
And he found me
But he couldn’t make it better
He always made it better
But he
He left me
All alone

I stand up slowly, forcing back my tears
No one’s left
I’m on my own
Like I’ve always been
Alone.
