"57"    

 
Fifty seven years of unspent love
I now offer up to you
It's a love that's clean and new
Better than any from above
 
Fifty seven years of asking why
Brutal treatment and hate
A suicidal death wish fate
With you I want to live not die
 
Fifty seven years of suffering and pain
Torture, assault and abuse
No rescue and no excuse
With you there is no loss, just gain
 
Fifty seven years of dogs abuse
Fifty seven years of feeling no use
Fifty seven years of being ignored
Fifty seven years of getting floored
Fifty seven years of feeling so lost
Fifty seven years of paying the cost
Fifty seven years of loveless and broken
Fifty seven years of truths unspoken
Fifty seven years of constant lies
Fifty seven years of desperate cries
Fifty seven years of seeking my demise
Fifty seven years of not talking back
Fifty seven years of constant attack
Fifty seven years of all things vile
Instantly erased because of your smile
 
Fifty seven years looking for love from above
Fifty seven years just cancelled out
Fifty seven years to forget about
with you I have finally found true love
