He calls you every day.
Yes, you stayed.
Only cause he promised he wouldn't hit you again.
Your friends say, "if he did it once, he'll do it again."
You brush it off because he made a promise to you.
You've never faced broken promises.
So you take that leap of faith and trust him.
You kik your cousin a couple of pictures.
Innocent, old pictures.
Exposing nothing but your face.
Your cousin is a boy.
You visit the man you've given your heart to.
Y'all are laughing, joking after making love.
He asks for your phone.
Remembering that he doesn't know your cousin is your cousin,
You say no.
He snatches it.
Asking for your password.
You have nothing to hide from him.
The password is for your parents.
You say no, starting to beg.
Begging for him to stop.
He throws your phone across his yard.
He takes your keys,
So you can't leave.
Shit gets real.
So you give him your password.
He sees the messages.
His eyes change to a dark black endless void.
You try and run but he catches you.
He punches you in the throat.
While tryin to catch your breath,
He repeatedly hits your eyes and mouth.
You get away and try to run.
But your efforts have failed because he pulls your hair .
Steadily trying to get away, he punches you in the back.
He flips you over, punching you in the chest and stomach.
You feel as if he's going to kill you.
After about 20 minutes of laying there weakened and sore,
After about 20 minutes of being beaten half to death.
He apologizes and cries.
Oh not this time it's over.
He promised to you it wouldn't happen again.
You keep saying it's over.
But his eyes have turned back to the hazel eyes that he has.
Tears are forming in his eyes.
You both are crying.
He's crying because he may lose his rider.
You're crying because you're in pain.
Lip busted .
Arm bruised,
Back broken,
Eye black.
He hugs you and kisses your forehead.
Your mind is saying leave, but your heart is saying stay and change him for the better.
You make it home safe, everybody's sleeping you cover all the bruises.
And call him.
Only if he knew, he just killed his and your unborn child.
