The love, the hate, and the beautiful

Scars, Tears, and A Broken Heart

When I first met you

you were the most beautiful person ever.

  You had a few cracks here and there

   but you were perfect to me.

At first, there was so much love between us.

       Until one day, that all changed.

          All of the love was sucked

out of us like a vacuum.

You became more distant

and more controlling.

You claimed that you still love me

and that we're going through a rough patch

but we'll work through it.

What happened to the person

that I fell in love with?

That person is now cold-hearted

and completely different now.

You drink more often

and anger easily.

You take it out on me

through punches, slaps, and hair pulls.

But after everything, you apologize

and promise not to do it again.

And I believe you

like my naïve self.

I try to remind myself that you really do love me

and that I deserved that beating.

You eventually leave me for another girl.

I know it's for the best

you didn't just leave me with nothing.

You left me with scars, tears

and a completely shattered heart.

A heart that once belonged to you.
