Sarah Speaks It

Today I was reminded of the cruelty I endured For so many years I was so blind It happened right before my eyes You hurt me over and over again And had the nerve to say it was justified The stains on the wall were caused by oil splattering as it falls Oil that you hurled at me as I tried to leave What kind of man throws used grease At the woman he calls his queen? I'm sorry did I call you a man? You should be offended as you could never be that grand A man who loves a woman wouldn't do her Like you did me You cheated double digit times Because you THOUGHT I did All the time I forgave you in the name of love and family And each time I broke a little more inside I couldn't love you the way you did me My soul was too good for that I couldn't cause you physical pain, At least not intentionally There were times I fought back But there were more where I curled into a ball You never made it obvious which was the worst part of it a
