I Was

I was,

Your shiny silver band,

wrapped so nicely around your finger

I was,

Your battered punching bag,

Black and blue and bloody

I was,

One of many you pled your love to,

As you made your way to my bed

I was,

The caged wolf

Wishing to escape

I was,

What I will never be again

I broke the band

I healed the wounds

I pushed you out

I escaped the cage


You thought I was beaten

You thought wrong
