Did I Deserve That
Did I deserve that, a slapped face, a broken tooth
Did I deserve that for telling the truth.
Is this my life, living in fear and in pain
Knowing it will happen again and again.
How did my life change so quick, so drastically
Where is the love that he once promised me.
Why is he so cruel what did I do wrong
This place of hatred is not where I belong.
I cry out in anquish but daren't tell a soul
That my life and my thoughts are all in his control.
I pretend things are right that I'm happy and free
And hide all my bruises so friends cannot see.
I don't know where to run, there is nowhere to hide
I feel scared at the thought and I tremble inside.
Some day I'll escape, some day I'll be brave
Or else I will ever live as his slave.
