Painful Love
The anger from your past has boiled up so high that you released it on me.
No self-defense can protect me from the bullets on your arms that hit me constantly.
The blood stains spotted perfect permanently on the floor
and the bones of my nose broken for life.
Hiding it with a smile and a laugh.
I thought our love was true?
My back bruised with your love.
My lips burst because of your love.
My knees ache with carpet burns from your love.
I try to escape as much as I can
but your sweet unapologetic words make me stay,
