She
by Damon Armand Detrios

She always cries when she comes home.
She always cries in bed alone.

She never says a word to me;
unless shes asking to be set free.

She talks to herself when I'm not close.
She always regrets the path she chose.

She tells me lies so she can leave.
When I kiss her she starts to scream.

Shes tired of me being around.
To me shes tired of being bound.

I tell her she needs to be more like me.
She tells me to back off and let her be.

When she screams at me, I strike her so.
After words I hold her and say "I'll never let you go."

She doesn't know that "I love you" means "Mine forever."
She'll always be mine and I'll hold us together.

She is mine and I hold her dear.
I still love her and eat away her tears.
