New life

It's been so long since I felt this way
To work it out six years and a day
That's how long I let you live my life
Your wh**e not lover, your slave not wife

I was fearful of the force you used
And your ever becoming shortening fuse
The hell you raised and demands you made
Left me a hollow shell and so afraid

You gave yourself a fright that day
When you left me bleeding in the hallway.
As you walked away to clean the blade
You looked back to see my face had grayed.

I would have given anything
To say I let the story end with him
But turns out my soul is stronger
Than any spineless tormentor

I have since learned to love again
To which you must think I am insane
With him I have a brand new life
Not wh**e but lover, not slave but wife.
