Human Bondage

The echo’s of beatings and abuse Seeps thru the bedroom walls, I wear the skin of your life inside me Festering wounds, Floating in a sea of abuse. Why can’t I leave you? Why am I so weak? Is it the children? Am I afraid of making it alone what do I seek? Jeckal’s of your kind seep in alcohol To make their life hide Do I see a glimmer of hope, will you change? I feel no way; I am a fool’s fool Living with your unrequited rule. My love for you was born from the seeds of youth That died, drowned in tears I’ve shed. I must heed my families call to leave Mum down on her knees to beg, I just know she has experience and insight Hoping I make it thru another night To feel the love as I greet her, And close the door on a wife beater, Who needs no licence. I only wish I had a magic wand To change myself into a Herculean Tyson With the strength of a wild bison. Not just for revenge, just to pretend I could beat the beater.
