He left me alone on tear soaked sheets
in a room, in a city, in a country I did not know.
I stayed, loving him was all I knew.
He left me alone on blood soaked sheets
surrounded by children I brought into his barren world.
I stayed, loving him was all I knew.
He left me alone on urine soaked sheets
my shattered childhood hitting me in unrelenting waves.
I could not stay, loving me is all I know.
