Annabella
I was walking
Strolling
Numbing
Through
The thoughts
In my mind
Swirling
In grime
It just made me
Want to cry
Fall apart
He's so perfect
But he hurts
He hurts me so
I just really
I want to let go
The lashes
The shame
The apologies
All in vain
I just want me
Again
Without a reminder
Of him
When I look
At my skin
Blotched
With colors
Unnatural
To others
But it's my fault
I make him
So mad
It's me
It's me
What did I do
Why
I looked up towards the sky
As someone
Bumped my shoulder
With eyes that
Were stormy
Like the way I felt
Inside
He seemed so
Defeated hurt
"Annabella"
He whispered
I shivered at the sound
They both
Hurt me
But my mind feels bound
My heart
Aches
"Jonathan" I whispered back
Weakly I know
But I'm not weak
I'm strong
I hope
Please let me
Be
Oh how this is what I want
Stop it
"Annabella I... how are you?"
Stop it
"Im okay"
Though I really wanted to say
"I want to cry
And right now your arms
Seem to be a safe place
To do that"
But he nodded instead
Hearing what I said
Stop it
"I want to tell you something"
Please don't talk about
Him
Please don't remind me
"okay go ahead"
Don't
Just Stop it
Please
"I think I'm in love with you"
My heart beat fast
As my mouth opened
With a gasp
His eyes shined
With sincerity
But his breath
Smelt of intoxication
Liquor and lust
His stance was unsteady
And I knew why
I bit my lip
And glanced to the sky
"Stop it" he spat
And a shiver
Ran up my spine
