im there for you

I’ve got your back!

He said chill out

Then called you cold

He built you up

To watch you fold

Just be yourself

But do as you’re told

I love you as you are

When you fit my mold

He said come here

Then walked away

My love is free

With price to pay

This is our home

But I won’t stay

Drew you in

Then kept at bay

Why do you cry?

Voice raised he’d yell

You’ve got it all

Trapped in your cell

You’re his little angel

In your private hell

Let’s talk it out

But don’t ever tell

He forces control

But says you’re free

Don’t go outside

You belong to me

You have lots of friends

That you never see

I miss the way

Things used to be

Before he came

You used to play

Now forever in

That house you stay

Like he’s your god

He is your way

Eternal wrath

No salvation day

I hope that soon

You chose to fight

With open eyes

Regain your sight

I wish you may

I wish you might

Run out the door

And leave tonight

You have strength

Inside it’s there

And those you’ve distanced

Will always care

Don’t think him gentle

Please friend beware

His means of fight

May not be fair

So if and when you leave

Please know this fact

There’s places to go

To avoid attack

To share with those

Who know the smack

And if you need my help

I’ve got your back!
