Poems

Still Love

I kissed her goodbye,
So I would live with you.
I replied back,
So you would stop.
I stop talking,
So you wouldn't scream.
I quit smiling,
So you wouldn't hit me.
I would love to quit my life,
But then you would beat me.

But even though hope escaped,
I still bit back a retort,
As I didn't want to get hurt.
I clenched my fist,
As I wouldn't hit you.
I cried internally,
As I wouldn't cause you pain.

I packed a bag,
As I wouldn't live with you no more.
I left a dying life,
As I wouldn't live like this any more.

I felt my heart clench,
Because even though you have wronged me,
I Still Love You...
