A brutal one you can be
Inflicting pains unimagined
Control you have taken from the helpless
Who can't defend all the fight you did take

The mental stress you did impose
Nothing left a black hole to fall in
Wanting to climb out but strength is gone
It's not there to help you up
You mindless one you ridicule
You laugh giving details of my demise

The way I cry the way I scream
The reason for my tears

A mockery I have become
A laughing stock is what I live
The helpless one laid low
The brutal one has no remorse
The reason for my tears

You are the reason for my tears.
I wonder if I am still your dear.

How would you ever wipe them away?
Those tears have so
