'Loser' - I had it written on the wall,

After all of the times,

That people hadn't cared at all. 

I wondered if people would  pay for their crimes.


The bathroom became my new best friend,

For I sat crying on its floor.

Once again I had let him win,

And now I couldn't just walk out of his door.


He continued to beckon me,

And tried to rob me of my senses.

I had lost count of how many times,

I was blamed for his  offences. 


For all of the slashes and gashes,

That I'm forced to mark.

He tells me that:

"Soon enough, it should light a spark."


Sometimes I trust him,

Most times I don't.

For, how could I?

When he threatens to slash my throat.


People don't even care.

They never believe what I say.

Everyone needs to understand:

That I'm trying, okay?
