They've all said it's so beautiful But I think it's so horrendous How such a feeling is so powerful How quickly it overcomes all of us
Love is meant to be nice Less sugar, more spice It's supposed to be butterflies Not screams, scars and cries
He promised me love, a house and food But all she got was blood and fists All she can think of is him throwing her onto the hood And the tight grip on her wrists
Unemployed, too broke to buy anything So he goes out and steals A robber who takes everything and leaves nothing Especially money and pills
He told her that he loves her She used to believe it It used to be forever 'Forever' slips away with every hit
She told him she loved him too How long more does she have to lie? She can't remember the last time her smile was true She only remembers the want to die
The first few months; memorable The first few dates; passionate The past few months; horrible The past few nights; filled with hate
She barely even laughed or smiled She never danced or sang She only flinched as his hand flied And hit her cheek with a pang
She cries herself to sleep And mopes around all day The scars on her wrists are deep She dreams of running away
Even drinking water hurt The lump in her throat constant She never spoke a word She remained distant
One day she decided Enough is enough Her clothes by color they're divided She tried to remain tough
"Where you going?!" He drunkenly slurred "Away from you, "This isn't fair!" She said "With that, a fist he threw
She dodged it and made a beeline To the door and left The place she could never feel fine And 'owned' by a guy of theft
She ran and ran, never to look back Her hair blew in the wind Her feet were fast and a smile finally cracked She had finally escaped, this is where a new life shall begin

Right, did you like this poem? This is the more realistically dark poems that I write, I'm already writing seven more and I hope all of them aren't too spooky or something for you. I'm a pretty dark writer when it comes to poetry, so this is just a little taste and there's more like this to come.
