Breaking the Chains -

The ray of hope I carry with me

Will be my guiding light

To ward away the crowding shadows

That haunt my every waking hour

And every dream

To spread my wings and leave behind

The worries and the pain

But when the words you said surround me

I know that I will never be

Free of your chains

The light that I thought I saw

Was just a lie!

You made me believe that the love was real

I was a fool

And now I am trapped!

I am a prisoner here

Caught by your words

You tore me down and you laughed at me

Revelled in my pain

My tears and my shame

The words

You said

To control me and to tear my heart to

Shreds

Again

Leaving me to bleed at your feet

I just want to spread my wings

And fly far away from here

I was in love and I could not see the monster inside you

Lying hollow and alone, a broken soul within me

I have to set things right again and find the strength to leave you

The ray of hope I carried with me

Would be my guiding light

I found the courage and the heart

To take my life into my own hands…

…I am free!
