Doesn't he Understand

I sit there in the cold damp room

Sitting in darkness

Doesn't he understand?

Doesn't he know his pushing me away?

The way he treats me

He says he loves me

Then why does he hurt me

He takes me away from my family, my friends, and my tribe

He locks me away from the outside world

He hurts the ones that are close to me

He beats me and almost kills me.

So if he loves me so much

Why does he hurt me?

Why does he push me away?

Doesn't he understand?

That the things he does to me

Make me hate his internal soul

Doesn't he understand?

That I hate him so

For making my life a living hell

Doesn't he understand?

That my life and love belongs to someone else

Someone who holds me,

And cares for me

Someone that loves me,

And protects me

Someone who is willing to risk his life for me

Doesn't he understand?

If he loves me so much

Then why is he making me hate him so?
