Angel
~ 5 years ago ~
Tears streamed down my cheeks like the water down a waterfall.

drip.
The sun had gone down with a red flare that lingered through the clouds like a bad omen. Before long the only light seen was the crackle within the shattered lamp post on the block corner.

"Never come back here." He spat "Ever." He had said.
His words shattering my heart into a thousand pieces. Crumbling like the sandcastles we built as children washed away when the tide rose.
He broke his promise.
crack.
crack.
He promised to never hurt me,
Promises. Promises.
He swore to protect me for as long as he breathed.
"That's what you get for falling in love, stupid girl" mother had said bitterly.
Broken hearts and broken homes.
"There is no such thing as real love, Angel." She had scolded me in one of her many drunken rages. Throwing the empty bottle down and stumbling back to her nest of a bedroom.
Their words repeating over and over, a echo in a cave. a hollow empty space, cold, dark and alone.
Over and over again.
Driving the hate into my bones, making my skin crawl and stomach roll.
"I hate you. Leave!" He yelled , the sound rippled through my chest splintering my heart more
"Who could ever want you. You are nothing. Not even to me!" Mother screamed angrily
"What did you think he was going to do? Make you his Old Lady? HA!" she scoffed before another drag of her cigarette. "You're nothing but a club whore now!" she added with a sick smile as if she knew all along.
"You weren't even a good lay, get out!"
Crack
"No-one wants you here."
Crack
"You think I care? You aren't anything special"
Crack.
"Waste of space! Fuck off!"
Crack
"you will never be one of use."
"Trailer Trash!"
"Skank!" "Whore" "Slut"
"I will NEVER love you."
That was it. Never again.
But it wasn't even the worst of it. Leaving wouldn't be that easy.
More pain was yet to come.
But I would get out.
I would prove them wrong.
Even if it killed me.
To bad one day I would have to return whether I liked it or not. But I kept my promise.
A promise to myself, I wouldn't let them crush me like they once had.
Never again.
