Battered and Bruised (Free verse) by erickvisions
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Run! Run! Run!
She set my heart ablaze (set me on fire, set me on fire)
And laughed in my face (laughed in my face, spat in my face)
She watched me turn to smoke (floating away, falling away)
What a jokeâ¦
â¦Dear is that the best you could do?
Not the first time Iâve been battered an bruised.
Battered and Bruised (Alone and Used)
Dazed and confused (Iâm dazed and confused)
But I know I still want you.
Did you see her face (the lines on her face, her skin-what a taste)
Did you see those hands? (like shells in the sand, theyâre made for a
man)
And did you see those feet? (so sexy, so petite)
Their perfectâ¦
Perfect for walking all over meâ¦
â¦Dear is that the best you could do?
Not the first time Iâve been battered an bruised.
Battered and Bruised (Alone and Used)
Dazed and confused (Iâm dazed and confused)
But You know I still want you.
There she stands (a match in her hand , burning her hand)
Sheâs with another man (holding his hand, the fuckers hand)
And sheâll probably burn him too (canât take the abuse, I love the
abuse)
Now sheâs looking at me (skin turning to glue, what will she do)
Got a smirk on her face (beautiful face, fucking waste)
And she turns and walks awayâ¦
â¦Dear is that the best you could do?
Not the first time Iâve been battered an bruised.
Battered and Bruised (Alone and Used)
Dazed and confused (Iâm dazed and confused)
But we both know I still want you.
Love the abuse, I love the abuse.
