In dim light, I face my reflection
Empty, void of emotions, a hollow shell

My pale back, embellished with scars,
Less than in my heart, I dwelled.

My soul still shivers with terror
At the thought of his return, his whisper
"I'll come back," he said, leaving me no choice
But to endure the pain he gave, in silence

Burnt marks on my skin revealed his artistry
A physical display of his disdain
I never knew he'd go this far
But now I see, I was blind to the pain

I HATE MYSELF for letting it happen
HE TOOK MY BODY, my everything
The pride I once had, shattered in every piece
I'm left laughing, with no escape

I curse my heart for thinking love could change him
My soul, once craving his affection, now in ache
He was right, I'm to blame for my fate
For giving him all of me, my love, my trust, my everything.
