you vs me

I never said you were abusive,
because you weren't,
to me.
You tried to be loud with the use of,
a punch,
to be heard over the sound of my screams.
You always said I owed you, had to pay my dues.
I forgot,
relationships aren't supposed to make you feel guilty.
You always made a point of hating me,
and I felt black like the bruise,
but nothing hurts when I remember
the way it felt to lose.
