YOUR WIFE IS NOT YOUR SLAVE

By: Lee A. Zito

Late at night I wake up terrified

of the darkness the absolute silence

It makes me wish I could have stayed asleep

Safe and sound in my utter subconscious

The sun comes out and Im still alive

gotta live this life as someone else's wife

Married to my jailors, Married to my hell

Im locked and kept away in this desolate cell

I was a person, I was a girl

I had a future, a happy disposition

what am I now? Who is this face?

I guess I'll never know cause now its too late

I'm a captive

Held in bondage

enslaved to follow their demands

I'm a captive

Held and confined

enslaved at the mercy of their hands

What was my bride price? Real cheap.

I meant to sow and now theres nothing here to reap

The house, the kids, his suit and tie

This is how it is until the day I die

Am I the guilty one? No one knows

"I do" were the words that sealed my fate

Mistakes theyre all around

yelling in my ear, yelling in my ear

I'm a captive

Held in bondage

enslaved to follow their demands

I'm a captive

Held and confined

enslaved at the mercy of their hands
