Prayer

You were so much stronger than me

The hits I take

When you take my sense of justice

I thought I knew what was right or wrong

I shouldn’t pretend I’m strong around you

I wish I could come to your door

Take back my rights

Leave your wrongs

The illusion of our perfect life is torn

You came around like a prophet of love and family duty

You spoke like you knew how to heal

You said I kept too many secrets

You asked me to open the vault of my heart

But never yours

I should never have held myself above you

If I knew you were waiting to punish me

For making you beg for me

I need to be controlled

I shouldn’t have this much power over a man

I Can hear you all day and night, the same prayer

I shouldn’t

I shouldnt

I shouldn’t
