Lateral violence, abuse, manipulation and control
Closed the door
Found me
Let love in
Lateral violence, abuse, manipulation and control
Opened the door
Let you in
Attack is a cry for love
Show love they say
Show love
Show love
Show love
Show love
Lateral violence
Showed you love
Abuse
Showed you love
Manipulation and control
Showed you love
Lateral violence, abuse, manipulation and control
Would not open the door to love
Was blind could not see
Lateral violence, abuse, manipulation and control
I cuddled you
Coddled you
Cajoled you
Soothed you
Lateral violence, abuse, manipulation and control
Would not
Could not
Open the door to love
Lateral violence, abuse, manipulation and control
Loved and loved and loved
And
Forgot to love me
Lateral violence, abuse, manipulation and control
Closed the door
Found me
Let love in
A new day begins
