I remember the way you looked at me

I remember the way you looked at me 

Like I was something you wanted to break,

I remember the look of dominance,

Like I had something you wanted to take.

I remember how you smoked a cigarette

Lazily and calmly,

I remember the way you held it in between your fingers,

gentle, yet strongly.

I remember the first time I heard you laugh,

It was the scariest sound,

I remember how threatening and dark it was,

It made my skin crawl from my head to the ground.

I remember your blue eyes,

Those scared me the most with their dark enchanting spell,

I remember looking into them

Was like looking into the face of a petrifying hell.

You hurt me and then say you're so very sorry,

Like it'll make up for all the damage you have done,

But I know you too well, darling,

To see me hurting, scared, and confused is your definition of fun.


In the end I guess you got what you wanted.

I ended up broken,

While you ended up fine,

With no words left to be spoken.

I was strong before I met you,

And when I wasn't I pretended to be.

But now I can't seem to get back what you took,

Oh, you've made such a mess of me.


Author's Note:(IMPORTANT) Being stuck in an abusive relationship is a hard and scary thing to endure. If there is anyone reading this who is currently trapped in an abusive relationship, physically or emotionally, I am begging you PLEASE GET OUT NOW. A teacher once told me "violence and abuse never gets better. It will just keep escalating." Unfortunately, it took me almost getting raped for me to see how right she was. You are not alone. There are people who love and want to help you. I'm available as well if anyone wants or needs to talk. But again, I beg you..get out before they kill you. I promise there is someone out there who will love and treat you the way a wonderful person like you should be treated. <3

School is starting back in a few days, so I won't be able to update as much, on top of that, I'm trying to find a job, so that will take up even more of my time. I'll try to update at least once or twice a week.
