Trapped

To the many women who spend their nights alone confined inside their own thoughts, 
Sad cause you're trapped in love with a man who says everything's your fault. 
So cold with his glare, face turned up, a fight within himself, 
Too bold, way to much pride to ever consider help.


So you hang on like holding on won't exist past him, 
Stealing your strength each day like the light when it dims. 
Yet..you keep on loving, nope,  she refuses to ever give up..
Even when he yells with raised fists she still yearns for his touch. 


Forget the tears, the scars,  and the many nights it rained,
confused all the time mistaking love with the pain. 
He doesn't change but she changes without even knowing,
Still looks at the mirror and swears her face is glowing. 


Body weak, crazy thoughts, all she's thinking is he played me.. 
never once thinking of all she'd become, too busy calling him baby.
Scratching records, breaking cycles, for what when it's all the same..
Distraught in his idea of love, still hope to get his last name. 


Blinded by his used up lust, you'll do anything for his attention, 
Even stick by his side, see him through that ten year prison sentence.
You only know loss so you never win, never release his hand..
She never loves herself enough to ever leave this man.
