When No One Was Listening

As high as I used to be
you brought me down to my knees
I used to be full of confidence
but you brought me down to defense
I’m never good enough in your eyes
you captured me in your web of lies
so alone and without a prayer
I shake with despair
your eyes darken as evil awakes
making sure I pay for all my mistakes
You tower over me like you were God
and slap my face so fuckin hard
my hand comforts my stinging face
and so I sit here in total fear
not able to control my tears
I cower over to the wall
hoping that this is all
You sputter obscenities saying this is all my fault
screaming at me “I hope you rot!”
I look up at you still wanting to believe
that you really do love me
All I have to do is what you say
and maybe you’ll let me live one more day
