Warning this one's darker and more violent than most of my poems
The pain that crashed over me was unbearable
The way my head went fuzzy and my eyes started to blur
The slap to my face left a bitter sting.
The push down the stairs left my body a heap on the floor.
The bruises didn't seem to want to fade
They stayed ugly and prominent
Letting them all know my mistake
In trusting you again.
Long sleeves and long pants
Sunglasses and hats.
Hiding away at home when my family would call.
Refusing to be seen
Refusing to call.
Knowing the truth
But listening to the lies
That you wouldn't do it again
That you'd apologize
If I'd just open the door
If I'd just let you in
Until you bashed my head against the wall
And I'd never wake up again.
