What do you see, in your garden of Eden, can you see thru the scars in your eyes?
Stick your head in the sand and someone will shaft you, like a worthless arcade prize?
And then all those emotions float up to the top, the strangest being that of surprise?
Surprise
Did he pin you to the door?
Did he knock you to the floor?
Did he treat you like a whore?
Do you think of him when your cat shreds the sofa, then snuggles up onto your lap?
Did you feel like the vulnerable mouse that it plays with
Take the cheese and get caught in the trap?
And have you now learnt since you've bailed
Crashed and burnt that life's not what it says on the map?
On the map
Did he pin you to the door?
Did he knock you to the floor?
Did he treat you like a whore?
Remember what year, the abuse and the fear, when did the warning bells ring?
How long in denial, and the living a lie, when did all the violence begin?
And cast your mind back, was about the same time, that your go-to breakfast was gin?
Your go-to breakfast was gin
Did he pin you to the door?
Did he knock you to the floor?
Did he treat you like a whore?
