My Love, My Tormentor

I'm like the life you keep destroying
Played me like a violin and held me captive
Till I screeched.
The trap I can't escape and the love
that won't go away.
I've changed because of you reluctantly
But I can't chase myself away
I'm bounded by you.

Set me free, leave me be.
Can't tear myself away from you.
I care too much to let you go
You're apart of me now and forever.
Those eyes hold me and break me
little by little.

You're my one and only
But then you're my tormentor.
Change me and mold me
to your standards.
Get angry at me
For reasons I could never understand.

I'm tired of being pushed around
I can't take it anymore
But my voice won't reach my lips
My body fragile and
Heart shattered to pieces.

I've fallen and I can't get back up.
The love (our love) is too strong.
Why do I love those intense handsome eyes,
Those tender lips,
His attractive and persuasive,
yet audacious personality,
and strong demeanor?

But why then take advantage of
my weakness?
Why cast me to places I don't want to see?,
Things I don't want to hear, and
Live a life I don't want to live?
this path is getting too dangerous
We close to a crossroads
but you won't listen to which way
we should turn, you never listen...
Still you lead us farther down the
darkened alley,
further down into the black formidable, abyss...
