| My Own Private Hell Powerless, I have no control over this unseen death the hurt is so strong that it burns my soul. I want to scream but I'm silent I'm dying inside I suffer alone Like a thief in the night it creeps to shred my heart apart! And it's all because of you. To see me hurt seems to bring you joy. Your arrogant cruel words slither off your forked tongue, As you kick and stomp and spit in my face. But when the cryin is over I will pick myself up and stand in my place. I'll hold you close, There'll be no love in my heart I'll whisper I love you, I'll say it so well! I'll make you believe! You'll think your in heaven, But welcome to HELL! Virginia (Lori) Rippey |
