not your victim

 
I hate the monster in your eyes
That lurks behind excuses
That tries to justify…

I am not your victim
I don’t listen to your lies
It doesn’t matter
Just empty alibis

You say that you love
Us
That you’ll be different
That you’ll change

But I know the truth
I know your face
I know your name

I see the demons lurking
Beneath the surface of your skin
I see the battle raging
And I know that you’ll
Give in

In the end it doesn't matter
Because I’m a woman now
Not the little girl
Who cowers at your frown

Yet, while I am forced to bide
My time in this place
For a moment I am her again
The child who’s afraid
