I cannot breathe because you stole my breath away.
I cannot speak because you've taken all my words away.
I remember our first kiss, and your delicious lies. I remember our fights, ending with your twisted sheets between my thighs. But who can forget the moments when I cried?
I lay here, curled up into a ball, staring at the scar you branded into my arm.
I remember the first hit: you didn't like the way I laughed.
Does it bother you that you've cut my back, and left me wtih three long scars?
When I look into the mirror I remember the days when we watched the sun rise, but then I look closer and notice the burn under my right eye. You took that stick & shoved it, but I forced myself not to cry.
You cooked me dinner after those peaceful 6 months that slipped by, and then you told me that I had ruined you and your life.
You beat me every night, screaming 'whore, slut, cow' and when I tried to leave you, you hit me from behind.
I hate you, I thought I loved you, but now I know that I can live without you. |
Submission Name: ..love?
