LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE

I accepted the punishement and never said a word

I didn't know better, for I was in love

I thought that was the way things had to be

He was the master who always had the key

So many things were wrong, he told me they were

It drives a person crazy when you really aren't sure

His word against mine, it always came down to me

And what I did wrong, surely I had to see

A mental notebook, he kept track of it all

Digging up the past no matter how small

The judge, jury and warden combined into one

He kept me in line, and made sure I had no fun

A daily dose of crap that smothered my heart

He dished it out and never let me start,

to tell him that I was not the cause of his pain

He let himself feel that way, it was all in his brain

I am stronger now and I can see it is not about me

I am breaking out of this prison, just wait and see.
