Your eyes had this special power
They would melt me
To the point of no return
They would send me to an unknown place
A place I had learned to love

A place where I could sleep at night
With your arms wrapped tightly around me
You'd whisper sweet nothings in my ear
And Kiss my lips
Soft
Gentlest

Come day we would still be together
With your hand wrested on my hip
My arms held you close
As we breathed each other in

This place I never wanted to leave
For with you
Is where I wished to stay

Fast forward
To the day that changed for you
The day you left me bleeding
With my bruised face
Fractured heart
And shattered pride

You came to me while I was still a girl
But you left me there a broken woman

I didn’t want you to touch me
I was a tease

I didn’t want to feel what you made me feel
I was a *****

It was all my fault
Right?

No.

I know now what YOU did
I know now that YOU are the monster

You told me I was a coward
But I am strong

I was afraid for my life

But, you sir, are the coward
Who is afraid to live.
