Women

---

It is no way to live,
Always looking over my shoulder,
While memories of you smolder,
From the pain and hurt only you know how to give

Taking me years to learn to love again,
Finding out love is not like the pain
In which being with you I had to endure.
Is there a end to the memories? Is there a cure?

You tried to silence me.
You tried to keep me from what I could be.
It was why I left you.
I wanted you to feel the pain that no one knew.

I told my lies to protect what you did to me,
Yet now you cant silence me.
The bruises may be gone,
Yet your memories and the fear, they linger on.

Always looking over my shoulder,
While the memories of you smolder.
Rising up to the sky.
All that’s left are the memories of your lie.

Yet I live in a promise of a day,
When I can have the day to say,
What you did to me,
Because now, I am free.
