You think the grass is greener on the other side?

Ha, please hush

I left love for lust and went from I want him so bad to me getting out becoming a must

I went from planned dates and picnics

To becoming a domestic violence victim

Not even having to look in the mirror to know my eye is black. And already feeling the rings around my neck

Convincing myself the last time was the last time then he’d say he loved me and I’d give him one more last time

Silly thoughts within like girl don’t worry put your hair to the side those scars are thin

It’s summer time outside put them shades on

Everyone knows a black eye eventually fades

But what about them stitches. How can one possibly miss them

Forget all that stupid me left it up to him to fix it and his definition of that was come here baby let daddy kiss it

It was like every time I started to heal he’d start again , like he hated the skin I was in

Plenty of nights I found myself wanting to finish him

Knowing that was a battle I could never win

Broken windshields and kicked in doors thank god I found the strength to leave because I couldn’t stand the war

Ladies and gents love yourself, know that you are always worth more
