Symbol of Adversity

Contributed by AnenaLynne on Wednesday, 25th July 2007 @ 10:50:41 AM in AEST
Topic: AmericanTragedy



He says he doesn’t love you
He says he hopes you die
He says that he gets satisfaction
Every time he sees you cry.

You say that he really doesn’t mean it
You say he’s just had a bad day
You forget to mention how you start to tremble
Every time he passes your way.

He’s broken down your spirit
He’s stolen your every dream
He’s become a symbol of adversity
That’s made it impossible for you to scream.

You cover your bruises with giggles
You hide your scars with smiles
You shield your pain with laughter,
And try to mask the despair of your trials.

But I can see all of your heartache
I see all of your unshed tears
I’ve watched you shrivel up in his presence
I’ve watched you succumb to all of your fears.

And I wonder what you thought as he killed you
If you regretted your choices in the end
And I wish that instead of trying to change him
You’d taken the loving advice of a friend.
