Anymore

Please don't hit me
Anymore
Please don't hold my throat so I can't breath
Anymore
Please don't hold me down
Shout in my face
Tell me how
You will take my life
Anymore

I can't take this
Anymore
Life with tears drowned in fear
Anymore
Can't wake each day
Trapped in your lair
My future owned
By your cruel control
Anymore

You can't punch me
Anymore
Burn me with cigarettes
Anymore
You can't fill me with self hate
Rip apart all hope
Overwhelm me with emptiness
Anymore

You are not here
Anymore
You can't threaten me
Anymore
But still from your scattered grave
You haunt me each day
When will you finally
Be no more
