I Wish I Had Been Stronger

Because it hurt.

By Yasmine RiveraPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I remember

yelling

for him

to stop.

I remember

fighting back.

Punching.

Kicking.

Screaming.

But, I was

too weak.

It hurt.

It hurt

so bad.

I can

recall

the pain.

The voice

telling me

to shut-up.

Telling me

that he'd

kill me

if I screamed

one

more

time.

My breathing

was getting

harder.

His

was getting

faster.

My tears

were uncontrollable

just like his

laugh.

The most painful

five minutes

of my life.

I wanted it all

to be over.

Soon, I was

standing over

my cold

lifeless

body.
