Winds Of Hate

Another update. The song is about sexual abuse. If that triggers you, you should probably skip it. EDIT: Please everyone, listen. So many of you are so kind, it warms my heart.❤️ But I'm just a storyteller. I'm good. 👍👍 === You drained You drained my spirit of its soul It only took you a moment And since my heart's never been whole You pried You pried my thighs apart for an eternity Might have been just a moment But that's not how it felt to me I cried I cried when I recalled your touch You stole my breath in an instant Then bound my voice in a hush I tried I tried to erase your face It fled my mind for an instant A dark memory fading with grace My back, my back against the wall Resilience is the only weapon I own Your dreadful soul, I'll always recall And that lifeless heart made out of stone You stole, you stole my life and I can't breathe You ripped off your veil and I saw underneath An empty garden where love can't grow Where the winds of hate will always blow I can't go outside anymore The fear's a wound that I abhor I'll never chase what I adore You've ruined the love I could have grown I still shy away from others Their closeness stings and then smothers I could have become a great mother But you've scorched the seeds I might have sown My back, my back against the wall Resilience is the only weapon I own Your dreadful soul, I'll always recall And that lifeless heart made out of stone You stole, you stole my life and I can't breathe You ripped off your veil and I saw underneath An empty garden where love can't grow Where the winds of hate will always blow I dream of scars that still remain I scream beneath a weight of pain Each night I see your face again Hell’s mark branded into my brain I hope, though shadows still score my soul I cope, while trying to keep my spirit whole This tightrope frays, I've lost its hold Its threads are burning and I've lost control My back, my back against the wall Resilience is the only weapon I own Your dreadful soul, I'll always recall And that lifeless heart made out of stone You stole, you stole my life and I can't breathe You ripped off your veil and I saw underneath An empty garden where love can't grow Where the winds of hate will always blow
