Black and Blue

Black and Blue
 
My eyes are both black and blue
But I keep on crawling back to you
 
Now just look at the things you do
I’m in chains and you know it’s true
 
All the tell-tale signs of abuse
For you my friends have no use
 
You’ve got my heart captive set it free
So I can achieve all that I could be
 
The way you treat me should be a sin
I battle with you but I can never win
 
I find myself lost on this ocean of grief
Your terrible temper is beyond belief
 
I made my vows for better or worse
But living with you has become a curse
 
You alienated me from my family and friends
Your hands of cruelty know no end
 
My mouth is gagged my hands are bound
Is there a way out that I haven’t found?
 
Again you have tied me to the whipping post
It’s your own ego that you love the most
 
Wish I could fly just like a little bird
And all of your cursing I never heard
 
This relationship lays slashed and torn
Sometimes make me wish I was never born
 
To your cold heart I am just a slave
Fear that I’m headed to an early grave
 
Where is an angel when I really need one?
Could he make all this hurt come undone?
 
Can’t seem to move I’m paralyzed with fear
My tired eyes have cried about a million tears
 
I’m awaiting the sun to come up just for me
And it’s rays of hope will set me forever free
