How did I end up this way? How did I go from on cloud nine to wanting to be six feet under? How did my love turn abusive? Was it something I did? Is it my fault? He seemed so perfect and now it's a living nightmare. One day he was all lovey dovey the next we fought and he hit me. He decided he liked the power it gave him and hasn't stopped. I'm constantly living in fear of his rage. I should reach out. Get help. Tell someone. But I'm scared. For my life. My friend's lives. This band. I'm just too scared to get help so I hide the marks and self inflicted scars. I act like I'm still madly in love with him. And they believe it too. It hurts that they don't ever question my somewhat jumpy behavior around him, or my visible relief when he's gone. Not a word is said nor a helping hand stretched out. I don't know how much more of this I can take. Someone notice my silent pleas! I'm going insane!
