Do you have any feelings
Why don't you understand
The pain you're inflicting on me
Is worse than the striking of your hand
Every time you make a promise
I can't help but hear the lie
If you can't give me all of you
Then Baby, please, just say goodbye
I've never asked to come first with you
But, I never thought that I'd be last
I only want you to think of me
Like you used to in the past
Punches leave bruises you can see
But, the ones you leave don't show
I really need the scars to heal
If not, I need to go
I love you more than I ever thought I could
And there's almost nothing I won't do for you
All I ask is you think of how I'll feel
Before you do the things you do
Author notes
Do you ever wonder if someone takes the fact that you love him/her for granted? Like they know that no matter what they do, you'll forgive them, because you love them? So they don't think about how you feel when they do or say certian things? That's what I was feeling when I wrote this!

How many poeple are still going through this?! I feel for you! I hope that I am never accused of this! I'm not perfect, I make mistakes. Sometimes it is hard to see if you are so blinded by love or lust! To realise and have the strength to do something about it is a special and scary thing!
I pray for all of those who have, who are and who will go through this!

Thanks Rey, for your great comment!! Unfotuantly this kind of abuse is not often spotted enough. And by the time it is the damage is so major and ingrained in the person that it's hard to believe that your worth more and that you deserve happiness. I appluad you for being determined that you will not put someone through this!!!! You've already taken the first step by admitting that you are not perfect! (Not many men can admit that!! LOL!!)
