spare my blushes,the compliments are
only for the outside world, to brighten your own star
those compliments are only skin deep
covering the tears I shed before I go to sleep
a plaster for each unseen bruise
in hidden parts of me to subjugate and confuse
a punchbag for the drunken rages
the tender consolation when you sob for ages
I see now, the weakness is in you
in order for survival, I know what I must do
my fear was but an echo of yours
the alcohol fuelled anger like a wee mouse who roars
now I am gone and you left alone
like a cat without a mouse, a dog without a bone
I am stronger now that I am free
from your all consuming need and insecurity
love akin to hate confounded me
I have to learn to live in hope,see who I can be
