The Cycle Of Abuse

Sometimes Daddy , Sometimes Mommy ,
Or Even A Lover True , Sometimes A Stranger ,
Always A Deranger , If Only Someone Knew ,
Someone Who Cared , When Truth Was Bared ,
When Someone Dared , Alas , They Are So Few ,
And All Those Who Know , Yet Do Not Say ,
I Can Only Ask , One Day They May ,
See By Their Silence , Just What They Do...

A Harsh Word , A Slap Of The Hand ,
A Beat Of The Belt , Or Sex As Demand ,
Food Denied , Or Just Locked Away ,
Told To Sit Pretty , Or Just Told To Stay ,
Told You're Not Worthy , Less Than A Beast ,
Do What You're Told , And You'll Be Released ,
Helpless , No Power , No Thought Can You Think ,
Deeper And Deeper Into Pain Do You Sink ,
What Is Love , When All You Know Is Abuse ,
And Every Day Is A Chance , You May Be Set Loose ,
And You Just Hate It , And Yet You Just Don't ,
And You Would Just Leave , And Yet You Just Won't ,
The Cycle Of Abuse , So Deadly The Dark Game ,
And Even More So , When Not Given A Name...

Nevermore !
