Heart Break Hotel 2
Prisoner of Love
I pry my
eyes open this morning......and
there it was, another note
'Morning love, I'm so sorry about yesterday
I don't know what came over me
It'll never happen again. I promise
Here's my card, treat yourself today.
Love Dare '
I remember
I remember when his words gave me
butterflies
His voice could turn my stormy days
into bright sunny ones
I remember when his touch made my knees
buckle
Those hands promised to love me, to
carry me, to nurture me
Those hands promised to lift me up
He was my morning sun, my reason to live.
My knight in shining armor
Now his words give me knots in the pit
of my stomach
His voice rages like thunderstorms
His touch, his fists brings me crashing
down like the twin towers.
His hands have become thorns, a hammer,
breaking me at every
chance.
He has become my worst nightmare, the torn in my
flesh.
Love is patience, love is enduring, love
is loooooong
suffering
suffering
That's what the Pastor said
the day we vowed 'till death do us part'
All these things they told me love is,
they left out one
All the blissfulness of
love, all the butterflies, all the fuzzy feelings
All the fairy tales, all
the sunshine rainbows
These feelings gave me
wings and made me fly higher
...and Higher,.......
and higher.... until......... we said 'till death do us part'
Oh I really was blind,
blinded by the promises of love
Welcome back reality, my
long-lost friend
Ile oko
Ile eko ni
'Your husbands house is a place of
learning'
And oh have I learned
I have learned to cover up my scars
Learned to smile through the pain
Learned how to curl up just right when his
fists travel to my
body
Learned the right words to say to make
him stop (at least
sometimes)
I have learned
Learned to be
a prisoner of love....
