Alone in darkness, filled with pain
Just another beating all over again
A few puddles of blood, and a black eye
Another night I pray, tomorrow I'll die
A chipped tooth, a finger broken
"I love you son." The words are spoken
Staring up into his eyes
Words of truth begin to rise
I cannot scream, he'll hit me more
I cannot walk away, I'll get knocked to the floor
A river of tears flowing down my face
Anger and rage make my heart race
I speak the words within my mind
Again and again, time after time
"Daddy don't beat me, then say I love you
Because I know that's not what all daddy's do."
