The carpet was soft
A comfort to me and my whimpers and silent cries
And though the carpet was a bleach white, now drenched in cherry blood
It still looked marvelous
And I laid there
Unable to move, my body a dummy to his fits
But I know that he loves me
His angry words that began my fast paced cries are silent now
He is tired, looking outside our window contemplating what to do next
We met at the circus
He was life and joy
He was what I was looking for
It took no time for us to get along
It took no time for his loving words to turn upside down
And shatter my world
And then he began to declare his love for me, not in gifts but in slaps
In kicks, in punches
But he always said that he loved me
And I knew that he did
Beer influenced him
Causing him to unleash his worst upon me
But on top of this I knew that he loved me
Then one night, he came home
Screaming and yelling
He got my arm
Pressed too hard, I told him to stop
He pushed me, smashed me to the ground
Air no longer came to me
But he continued
My body a dummy to his fists
Then he got my new knife and pierced me everywhere with it
And breath no longer came to me
He threw me to a corner
He walked away.
As I laid dying
I noticed the carpet was soft
Though the carpet was a bleach white, now drenched in cherry blood
I knew that he would always L.O.V.E me.
