why?

Everytime I sit there as you scold

It just makes the room and my body go cold

How am I supposed to love you then

Till we grow old?

 

 It all started when you said I had flair

Now everytime I come into your room is like a torturing lair

Even when I’m near you it's like you 

Poisoned the air 

You really don’t need to say a bunch of crap 

I’m literally just waiting for the hit

I’m so scared of you but I love you I don’t 

Know how to explain it.

I dont know how to tell you what you did to me. What you made me feel. I guess here it goes

You asked if I wanted a drink

Why can’t we be normal and go on dates at the ice skating rink?

I came back from the bathroom not even noticing my wine 

changes colors like color changing ink 

What was in it? why ?


I drink it and can’t seem to escape

this trance

I wake up to a bunch of scrapes

Thinking of the worst thing possible

why rape.
