Not This Time

He can't have me this time.

The lies that bind,
The heart that weeps,
The tear that falls,
The fear that sleeps.

Deep within me,
The silence roars,
My body trembles,
My heartbeat soars.

The memories surface,
My heart skips a few beats,
I can feel his fist again,
Reality retreats.

I'm back in his rule,
Will this be my fate?
No love in his eyes,
Nothing but hate.

I reach for help,
I want back in the light,
He can't have me again,
This time I will fight.
