One of the many poems I have written concerning a life changing experience I had.... |
You told me that you would never hurt me Told me I am all that you need to be complete Told me you want to spend the rest of your life with me Told me you love me ........But something is amiss As I wipe away a tear from my eye as i think of what you did to me As I look at my reflection in the mirror, I see how much you love me A bruised lip, a bruised face, a black eye Is how you show me you love me Hurting all over, begging you to stop hitting me Is how you show me I am all you need in your life Telling me that you could do better Is how you show me you would be there for me Is this how much you love me? That you continue to hurt me physically Torture me mentally Tear my soul apart I love you, but never have I done any of this to you I want you, but never have I told you I could do without you Love is not about hurting the person you love But you hurt me constantly Love is not about beating the person you love But you strike me as if on command Maybe I'm wrong Maybe I'm the one who is confused What I thought was love is not love at all |
