My Dark Poems

I Knew You

I knew you
I did
I knew the way
You brushed
You midnight black hair
So it fell
In your eyes
I could barely see the
Chocolate brown
Iris's peaking out
Sometimes
They looked black too
Depending on your mood
I remember staring into them
While you begged me
To stay
You said "I love you
I will never do it again
I'm sorry
But the way he looked at you
It made me mad
Why did you let him
Look at you"
And I felt bad
Even though you
Were the one
To grab my arm
With such force
I felt my wrist
Was being torched in flames
I told you that day
I couldn't do it anymore
My abdomen bloomed
With an innocent
Unborn
You looked at me
With fear and disgust
You shoulders seemed broader then
You fist were clenched then
And your breathing was harsh
I cowered covering
My stomach
With my hands
Hoping and praying
You would step back
For it wasn't just me
Anymore
It was me
And
Your
Baby
I felt liquid fire
As if you had cut a
Slash in my cheek
I hit the floor then
Hard
So hard
All I could do was weep
You tried to hold me
Told me "It will be okay
You just can't leave me
I'm sorry
I was just so afraid"
Your eyes were black then
I couldn't help
But feel warmth
When you bought
Small soft blue blankets
For our baby boy
You wanted him
To be named
After you
I smiled and agreed
As my wrist throbbed
In agony
The bruises seemed to be yellowing
But when the baby was born
It was a deep scar
In my mind
For how could I bring an
Innocent infant
Into this house of mine
I screamed
It hurt so bad
You squeezed my hand
I screamed louder
The baby screamed too
Cried and screamed
Until he was put
Into my arms
He was warm
He was beautiful
His eyes were chocolate brown
You smiled then but
Your eyes were still black
A tear slipped down my cheek
Our baby kept crying
Oh why must he weep
