Violet

I needed so much to free myself from you

My skin is so thin and fragile

Every time he strikes

A violet grows

I have endured years of suffering and abuse

Your violence has broken me inside out

Never for better, always for worse

All my body wants is to run away

A life of terror,

I'll never get used to it

You tell me, you love me

And you smash my face!

I just can't take it anymore

You tell me, you love me

All you do is smash my face!

My skin is so thin and fragile

Every time he strikes

A violet grows

You have won, no one knows of my existence

I'll cover my body, and conceal myself once again

And I'll pretend to be okay

And you'll rape me again

Living on the razor's edge

Every single moment

I spend with you

Sometimes I don't know

If I'm allowed to breathe

You have to let me go

One day

Everything will stop

No more promises

My skin is so thin and fragile

Every time he strikes

A violet grows

In a moment of rage and despair

Under the blows, I grab a knife

I stab so hard, many times, everywhere!

All this flowing blood

To wash away my fears!

I am free!

They found me trembling and crying

On my knees, in your blood

Close to your body

They can lock me up for my crime

I'm no longer your victim!

Now, in my garden of fears

The violets are wilted
