Every tear I shed has faded away
For my body is not a prize to be won
From your cycles of kindness to jealousy to rage
Has kept me in a prison of lies
But now I realize that you only thought of me as your slave and possession
And not your lover or equal
You held the key to my heart but I'm changing the lock
Your threats knock me down but I get up
I felt so alone,
Although people are all around,
I open my mouth to tell them,
But nothing comes out
All I wanted was love
Instead you gave me lies
I'm a diamond in the rough
I realized I could never give you enough
It was your fear of abandonment and loneliness that made me leave
And now I realize I can't fly or soar with someone who will only clip my wings and drag me to the ground
