The Man

What does it take
to get past the hate?
How do you survive
What this society creates?
To think of a world without fright,
How I wish I could sleep through the night.
As I peek out the door,
into the unknown space..
No eyes lay before me.
Just an empty place.
Strong arms lay around me,
Controlling my action.
No wonder I am so scared..
It's just for their satisfaction.
If I do what you want,
Do you promise not to harm me?
When the pain goes away,
Will you promise to release me?
I tried to look into your eyes,
But all I heard were other women's cries,
You are the thing that always lies..
You are the man that I despise.
I cannot change you,
But you have controlled me..
I say I love you,
Why won't they see?
How much of your abuse
Do I have to take?
How does it feel
To be intensely fake?
When I come to you..
You promise to care,
But I see through you,
And I am so very aware.
You are just a machine.
Your heart was once clean.
What is it that you have seen?
I think you know what I mean.
I am sure that you must be like me,
So loving and caring,
Would you ever come to be?
So many ungrateful tries.
I have tried to see past the lies.
You no longer have those gentle eyes.
You will always be the man that I despise.
