I look at my heart,
bruised, torn.
My smile has been broken,
by your need to harass me with empty kisses.
I trusted you, now I may never love.
For everytime I see someone with potential,
I see your horrific face,
Your hands on me.
I couldn't hit you,
I couldn't fight back.
I was so young,
I had no clue how to even use my fists.
But at night, I see your face.
Haunting me.
Telling me that I'm worthless,
I'm nothing but your pet.
I am more than you will ever be,
I am more of a man than you could ever imagine being.
Because I choose to get up,
I choose to dust of the filth you covered me in,
And I choose to give someone the love,
that I will always be afraid to accept,
because of you.

I thought that this was painful and raw, yet gorgeous in a way. You have a way of expressing yourself very eloquently and drawing the reader in with your clever word choice. I could feel every heart-clenching ache and every unwanted touch. Very powerful indeed. You did a wonderful job; thanks so much for entering!
