Paramour

NOTE:This is a series of SHORT STORIES.

Love is a four letter word,
that makes your heart sore.

You think you're in love,
but come to find out he's a thug,
selling and dealing is what he is best at,
now how are you going to get away from that?

He says he loves you with all his heart,
but in the end he tears you apart.
You want to live, but he keeps saying please,
you find the courage to up and leave.

But your stupid self goes back,
he seems like he changed,
but then he goes back to himself.

You sit and wonder why,
why you even try.

You go to leave, but he grabs you,
hits you in the face,
cry and pace.
He calls you a bitch,
spits in your face.
All you can do is pace,
because you never got taught how a guy should really treat you.
