I count the ways

I count the ways you control me
one by one on my tired hands...
how did I get here??
laughing at the role I play
like some pathetic after school special
only this isn't bad acting, just bad
judgement
I used to think I loved you
that my green eyes and good sex
would place me where I needed to be
but your words are brutal
your accusations run dry
and the reasons to hate outweigh the reasons to love
my heart is no stomping ground
my shoulders can't carry every burden you throw
my body is not YOUR temple to desecrate
my spirit is not in your control
anymore...
