IN MY MIND

In my mind,
You haven't changed
In my mind,
You weren't to blame.
In my mind,
I did say yes.
You didn't have to second guess
In my mind,
It wasn't rape.
You didn't get it all on tape.
In my mind,
It was true love.
It never came to push and shove.
In my mind,
You didn't die.
He never shot.
I never lied.
In my mind,
You're still alive
You're with me now deep down inside.
In my mind,
He didn't know
I never let the bruises show.
In my mind,
He didn't kill
In my mind,
You're with me still.
