ABUSED AND ABUSE?

What torture has one brought me today?

A teaching of my just desserts?

Perhaps a pain that’s caused in a new way,

Or a new way of showing me my hurts

Perhaps a proper whipping would do

Or how about a simple scolding

You have learned the worlds taboos

And yet you continue to do you moulding

Perhaps you’d like to play a mind game

Or induce a fright with a look of your eyes

You could say you have forgotten my name

And burn my heart with a lighter full of lies

You could be totally cruel and wild

Turn me into a stone-cold, rock-hard shell

Then years later as I look at my own child

I wonder who’s not being treated very well

I feel and hear my teeth clench tight

When I’ve an urge to do what you have done

It’s then that I realize that I have no right

To take the happiness away from a little one

But I shallnt’ make your same mistakes

That be a word of truth from me

Because a child’s smile is the greatest

Sight of any in the world that I could see.
