She Will Never Know You
The words keep coming,
Flowing like a river.
The tears keep coming,
Falling like the rain.
I keep my head down,
Can’t make a sound
The bruises are showing,
Deep purple splotches.
The pain is overwhelming,
Earthquake tremors through my heart.
I keep my head down,
Can’t make a sound.
The knowledge that you might hear,
It’s enough to keep in the screams.
The thought that you don’t care,
It’s enough to be my deepest of fears.
I keep my head down,
Can’t make a sound.
Many a years later,
I found someone else who understands.
Many a years later,
I can finally speak my mind.
I lift my head up,
I open my heart.
I was raised to believe that pain was love.
But no more.
I was raised to believe that I was merely a toy.
But no more.
It took me twenty years to know,
That what you did was wrong.
It took me twenty years to see,
That I mattered all along
I was not loved,
You knew not of that domain.
But now I have the chance,
To stop the chain.
I have a daughter now,
With my husband’s dimple in the chin.
She will never cry,
Because of my hand across her skin.
She will be loved endlessly,
Because I have saved all of my love for her.
She will know love,
Because she will never know you.
