i felt the pain.
i felt the pain as his five fingers clenched as tight as they could.
i felt the pain as a hard fist came at me.
as another broken promise now lays to rest.
my house, never a home, has now come to be a graveyard.
a place of death to all hope that could’ve been.
“i won’t do it again”
“i won’t do it again”
“i promise i won’t”
“i promise”
there is still an impression of his wedding ring on my skin.
love has always shown itself in the strangest ways
