I'VE SEEN TOO MUCH

I've seen enough to know
I've seen too much
I've felt the gruling pain
of your unwanted touch.

Its amazing you can reach me
On that pedastal you stand
But the only view I see
Is the back of your strong hand.

It used to be an accident
And apologies youd bleed
Now to tame that hunger
On my pane you always feed.

It's gone much further
My bruses aren't enough
My friends don't even ask
They know I'll always bluff.

Well it's finally happened
You cant hurt me anymore
Theres no more pain inside me
For all my blood is on the floor.

M.B.
