Love Cushions Abuse

The words on your lips

Your fist in my ribs

Nails dig in my hips

Bruises splatter my limbs

But I still loved you

Your abusive words

Every thought I had heard

Back in I was lured

After being deterred

I still loved you

Your hand in my hair

But it wasn't safe there

Because you didn't care

If you were being unfair

I still loved you

After every fight

While crying at night

It took all my might

To think I'd be alright

I still loved you

Even once you had gone

The fear had lived on

I can't hear our song

Everything felt wrong

I should never have loved you
