You are sure to make me feel small
You hurt and we all feel the fall
Your pain is echoed in your anger
Your words they sting at us like flying darts
Your angry rage scares us all

I can’t erase the pain you feel
I didn’t cause it
I can’t control it
I’m not to blame
I scream to no one
To make your pain go away

You still berate me with your words
They fall heavy on my heart and mind
Always threatening to leave me
When all that has occurred,
Is that you bruised your pride

You never turn it on yourself
Everyone else here is to blame
Don’t you know the more you do this?
I feel less safe with you...

Then it’s all over
Your tyrant rage is once again no more
You reach for me and beg for my reprieve
And I’m supposed to just fall in line again
Loving caring and forgiving

It’s getting harder to forgive
It’s getting harder to forget
I cry inside, for you to love me
Like I once was your dream

I pray someday your pain, will lessen
I pray some day; you’ll stop your anger
But I’ve been here before, and you know
What scares me, it’s a vicious cycle that
I wander, I always seem to find
The one that makes me feel this way.

If this is true I will tell you from my experience, he isn't going to get better or do better...your love will turn to resentment and any children in the picture will suffer.

Now if this isn't true...kudos to you for making me feel like it was!!!

Superb sublime words that I would have expected someone of a masculine nature to utter against a woman
