You tell me you'll change,
You'll never abuse me again.
Or do anything to lose me,
But your fist is still bruising my skin.
Your knee still scraping my shin,
Your teeth still biting my flesh.
Your hands pulling at my hair,
Your foot kicking the wind from my chest.
Your words still hurt my soul
My mind is broken from your control
How much can my body take
One or a thousand beatings
From a man hiding behind feelings he fakes.
"I love you babe" he said,
"dont leave I need you" he cried.
"I'll never hurt you again, I'll change. I'm sorry" he lied
How pathetic I must have been
How stupid to think that this was true
I may have once been your queen
But the crown you placed upon my head, slowly slipped away
And your face began to show who you really were.
Your true form showed through.
Your not a man, your a monster.
You think it's appropriate
To treat women like dirt.
To take what you want
And paw at there skirt
I trusted you.
I believed you
Knew you
Fought for you
Wanted you
Loved you
.....
Hate you.
There comes a point where the words of an abusive spouse mean less than nothing
