I remember the hands
that hit me so well
I remember the belt
that made my back swell
I remember the anger
that look in your eyes
I remember the pain
that made me want to die
I remember the black marks
that you left for me
I remember have to cover them
so nobody else would see
I remember that day
that I put up a fight
I remember the cops
coming to our house that night
I remember them taking me away
and all the things they said
I remember every memory
That ran through my head
I remember the place
that they took me to
I remember the days
I spent crying because of you
I remember being alone
and not wanting to breathe
I remember you
and being there was a relief
I remember when I came back
and being alone
It was nothing out of the ordinary
I was right back at home...
