Abuse

I shudder as he touches me
I'm so very scared
I don't want to hurt again
I used to think he cared

I run to you every time
You promise you'll stop the pain
But you did nothing about it
And he hit me again

You wipe my tears away
And say everything will be alright
I know that's not true
Because he does it every night

Whether I'm good or bad
I'm always in the wrong
You may not believe me
But this has gone on too long

It's time for it to stop
And I want you to be there
I can no longer take the pain
Just show me that you care
