A feather kiss on my swollen cheek
A supposed happily ever after gone wrong
haunted dreams, broken bones
can't leave him, too proud to admit I was wrong
too scared to be alone

His touch I used to crave is now a torment to my soul
haunted dreams, broken bones
am used to the pains all I need is to close my eyes and block him out
I hear screams from a far distance or not
I feel the soreness of my throat I guess that's me screaming
I know how much he loves the taste of my tears,
the loud thumping of my heart
my fear is his strength
my pleadings arouses him
a loud blow to my head
I say my last prayer and rest in peace
