What Kind Of Beast

i tremble when i think of him what might have been
to love and trust a man who had the potential to violence
one who could have harmed me but never did
what kind of beast did my fragile mind trust

he inflicted untold terrors to many women but never me
i believed his lies never knowing the beast inside him
fear now runs rampart within my soul what could have been
what kind of beast did my fragile mind trust

he filled my mind with false words belying the truth
i trusted and believed his words against what others said
people tried to warn me i wouldnt believe them what did they know
what kind of beast did my fragile mind trust

i couldnt betray the man who protected me so much
even when others portrayed the beast he really was
they didnt know him like i did....but did i really know him
what kind of beast did my fragile mind trust

this heart didnt want to know the truth it was so afraid
afraid to face reality to know it wasnt always reliable
lies are sometimes hard to detect when the heart gets in the way
what kind of beast did my fragile mind trust
