Hurt

Your hands have broken my soul
Stole my joy
Created bruises and hurt my heart
I think at one point I loved you
I never wanted to leave your sight
I craved your smell and touch
I never saw the monster beneath..
Your blows brought bruises and welts
Strangle marks and knots, pain and suffering
The love slowly dissolved, like salt in water
Soon there was nothing left
Your touch against my skin, repulsive
You tried to kiss my lips, I hid
You wanted to spend time together, I didn't
I had emotionally checked out, tears of sadness every night
One day I just left, never to be seen again
Love was a joke.
