Days Gone By

In photographs of days gone by
I see a sparkle in my eye
Now my eyes are full of pain
The light inside them starts to wane
What happened to those joyful years
The vestige of them disappears
Innocent and full of life
Oblivious to coming strife
Then came the day she married you
Why'd you stab me through and through
Called me names like dumb and weak
And "stupid, worthless, little freak"
Abused me, broke me, made me cry
Made me wish that I could die
Did it feel good to make me fear
Convince me I'm not worth your care
Did you feel strong when I would break
You'd do whatever it would take
You made me grow up way too fast
Forget about my cherished past
Now that boy's become a man
Who sees right through your wicked plan
But I don't wish the same on you
The awful things you put me through
I only hope before you die
You'll regret the sins of days gone by
