Love Taps

He is my love
But he hurts me..
Brings me insecurity,
Bashes my selfesteem
And dirties my purity

He is the man of my dreams
But my love is muffled in screams
That are coming from me..

The blacks and blues
Should be enough
Clues
To leave em astray
But my love
Is the only thing that won't let me stray

His fist to my face
Shatters every dream I once had
So sad
I once loved this man

The hate that was once love
Set confusion in my soul
Because if he loved me
He couldn't be this cold

Its not always this way
There are brighter days
But eventually it ends up
With a bruise across my face

Damn if love wasn't so capturing
So imperfect
So blind
I would of left a thousand times

He is my Dr.jekyl
My Mr.hyde
My romeo
His juliet
In modern times

He says I deserve every bit
Cause I'm too demanding
And I stand there and talk sh*t
But I don't know of anyone
Even inhuman
That should be treated like this

Friends ask how could I
Give my love to a monster
Truly that's a question
That I don't have an answer

I know that I must put an end to this mess
because.. I watch the news & read the papers
I don't want to end up like the rest

A victim of love
Fallen through the cracks

To the world
Just another one of their stats...
