On the ropes

On the ropes

Your words can be so cruel and sting like a vicious blow
The power you put behind those attacks rocks me to my core
I feel as if I am pushed back onto the ropes of life
You have your reasons and the power to wound so deep

The need inside to strike back is often so limited
I know the love inside of you is the same passion that guides you now
So much said and I feel powerless against it and each new attack forces me back
You have your reasons and the power to wound so deep

Strike after strike until I feel so overwhelmed that I know I cannot stand
The strength was taken from me as I do not know how to fight back anymore
The good turned to bad as the beautiful becomes ugly and I hurt inside
You have your reasons and the power to wound so deep
