I’ve been beat,
I’ve been abused,
I’ve been struck down,
I’ve lost my freedom.
You continue to ask who commits these
Terrible acts against me,
The one you claim to love.
I gave you my heart,
I gave you my love,
And the most precious of all, I gave you me.
I didn’t ignore you like the others,
I didn’t turn away from your warm embraces,
Or your sweet kisses.
But you… You!
The beast that has kept me caged,
Kept me under your thumb.
You committed these vicious acts,
These dreadful crimes.
And to the one you claimed to love.
How… how could you do this to me?
I thought you loved me… what happened?
