As i'm bleeding out,
I'm thinking of you.

You said you wouldn't do it again.
But you lied,
you hurt me,
I have to lie about these bruises,
the dark sagging skin under my eyes.
I have to lie about the lines that fill up my arm
because of you.
Because of you, I can't eat or sleep

Everyday I must cover up the emotional bruises you left behind,
by faking a smile and long sleeves.
Everyday I flinch back when a man touches me because it reminds me of you.
Everyday I get looks of pity because of you.

Because of you, i'll never trust another man.
I'll never forget the way you charmed me into believing you loved me.
I'll never forgot those nights where you broke the bottles and threated to **** me.
I will never forgot the way you tied me up and touched me with your serpent hands.

I will never forget. Because. Of. You.
