Abuse
A Poem From the Point of View of a Victim of Domestic Abuse...
My night's now lonely and cold
Just myself, an empty heart and scars from memories untold
That weigh me down with such sadness and no hope,
I think of you
Want you
Long for you... though you're wrong for me... deep down it's true
It just didn't work, didn't fit together... me and you
Torn down to near nothing, a being whose broken pieces cannot be healed
A being who only hears lies, sees demons, and true happiness she cannot feel
This is what you did, this was the love you gave me
The love that blinded and destroyed me
What I thought was love... but was only poison I now see
Even without you here, how scared I am, to speak... to even breathe
You killed me, took my soul and just left me with this unrecognizable person, so empty
But even with all this understanding of the truth, the recognising of the reality... It is you I still need
Your touch my body aches for, your control my mind is lost without, what is left of me, without you, is weak
Still owned by the monster that is you, though your presence is not near
Life for you continues, happy and without a care
Whilst I sit here... alone... still living the nightmare
Come back to me, just so that I can feel once again
Even if those feelings are not really love. But just hurt and pain...
Anything is better than feeling nothing, feeling lost without you, knowing you don't feel the same
My friends will call me crazy and my family will hate me
If I was to try rekindle what we had, a flame so dangerous, I once could not see
Being with you was killing me, but I'm now dead since you decided to leave
You're toxic, you're wrong for me... but you are what I need...
