I loved the way you used to kiss me
The way you used to hold my hand
The way you'd take my breath and tell me
That you'd always be my man
But there was a demon living in you
Waiting to make me its sweet prey
And all the things you used to do
Are just memories of yesterday
I'm crying on the bathroom floor
My skin is flayed with glass
And the lovely face I so adored
Is just a remnant of the past
Bruises riddle my tear-stained cheek
My teeth are loose and bleeding
The crippling fear has made me weak
And oblivious to what I'm needing
My love for you destroyed my life
Left me in this fearful state
You approach me; you're holding a knife
I just close my eyes and wait...

This poem is so sad and I am sorry if this was your experience. Far too many endure this kind of horror and I can relate all too well. You did a great job describing the pain and emotions felt here. Blessings, Patty

a disturbing poem. It makes me want to know the details - what happens, though it may seem obvious. A very intense write - thanks for entering.
