Like No Other Love

I sprint away from him
To take the chance at last,
The night is cool and dim
Sidewalk of overcast.

It shoots up through my seams
And jars within my brain,
I'm silent in my screams
He loved to hear the pain.

And did all that he could
And told me what he'd do
No matter if I would
Believe in what I knew.

Obeying every want
I never satisfied
His dark sadistic haunt
Would threaten if I lied.

To hunt me like a dog
His little trophy slut,
Not worthy of his 'love',
A litany of faults  

For everyone to hear
All through the neighborhood,
There was no other one
He claimed who had his heart.

Was like no other love  
He'd given just to me.
And even though I stayed
In hopes that he might feel,

Remembering the past
The way it used to be,
It disappeared so fast
When soon the threats to me.

The mental torture came
When he would leave each day,
And lock me in to tame
His little runaway.  

With places where he hid
The fetish things he plied
Upon my nakedness,
No clothes did he abide.

While I was kept inside
My mind would start to bend,
Until he would return
For it to start again.

The layers of my scars
Not only to my skin
To bow, the cage's bars
A thing that it lived in.

Without a name, a soul
I had just one more try
Determined in my goal
Before there was no time

The truck's glare of its light,
My hair flew as I streaked
As he turned up the drive
When he came down the street.

Its high beams showed the slave
That no one ever sees
Had broken from his rage
To live free as she flees.

And as I disappeared,
I heard his howling rant
That echoed in the night,
Became his vocal chant:

"There is no other one
I've claimed who has my heart
Is like no other love
I've given just to you!"
