How did I not see this coming?
Could I
really have gone so blind?
Serves me
right to have to pay this price
For letting
my heart rule over my mind
Every time
you hit me was always the last
Your blows
were quick, your apologies as fast
Angry
glaring eyes soon ruefully downcast
I’d believe
you every time, put it all in the past
Serves me right to have to pay this price
For letting my heart rule over my mind
That black
leather belt we bought together
Would sting
my skin as you bruised it tender
The blows would
keep coming in harder and harder
Till my
body gave up, my spirit surrendered
I‘d wake up
the next day; and oh the pain
But you’d
kiss it away and teary eyed explain,
“It’s not
me when I’m angry, I just go insane”
I’d believe
it when you’d say, “It’ll never happen again”
Serves me right to have to pay this price
For letting my heart rule over my mind
Laughing a
moment ago, we now argue
A slap
comes soon, and then a punch too
But it’s different
tonight; the gleam in your eyes new
Suddenly
you grab my neck; I see what you plan to do
I give you
no fight or struggle, there isn’t a point to
You strangle
me slowly at leisure, smiling as you do
As the
lights begin to dim, you whisper, “I’ll miss you”
I close my
eyes and, for the very last time, believe you
Serves me right to have to pay this price
For letting my heart rule over my mind
