You look down at the ground
Tears dripping down your cheeks.
You promised yourself you would leave if it
Happened again.
He promised it was the last time.
But it wasn't.
You thought about calling your mom
Or your sister but couldn't force
Yourself to do it.
You couldn't leave even if you wanted to.
You love him more than anything.
You thought he loved you too.
But your only his punching bag.
And you hated him for it, yet you love him.
Why?
Love this is not
