They leave me broken and battered
I'm left here to die inside
Some day's I ask
Why do I even try?
Then I remind my self
I try because I have a misguided hope that things will get better
That there's a place for me in this world
If only i can find it
That someone will want me
That I can maybe save someone else from this

The only reason I stay is for Her
Shes only 10
I stay
To keep her safe
To dry her eyes when they yell
To be there when she needs somewhere to run
To make sure she doesn't
Turn out as fucked up as me...

Its everywhere
The knife is stained red
Red as a ruby
Death approaches me
I'm not afraid
I welcome his bittersweet embrace
My blood flows out
The strength is leaving me now
I feel the end drawing near
This is it
The end of me and my story
Or is it merely the ending of one chapter
And the beginning of another?
There it goes
The last of my blood leaves me
Now I lay me down to sleep one last time
I am dead but I am at peace
Don't mourn me
I died as I have lived, by my own terms

There, in that park
Over by those trees
That's the place that holds so many memories
Good and bad

There under that stand of oaks
I had my first date,
My first kiss,
Where he said he'd love me forever

There under those old oaks
Is where it started to go bad,
Where he first hit me

Under those silent trees
Is where I told him about the baby

Under those silent watching oaks
Is where he murdered me

And under that tree,
That one right over there
That's where he buried me

Too bad...
