Screaming in the middle of the night,
Both of us trying to win the fight.
Your hands find their way to me,
And I find it difficult to breathe.
Every blow you make strikes me down,
My tears fall down as I lay on the ground.
The words you yell stuck in my mind,
But yet we try again time after time.
Forcing my thoughts to hide away,
I struggle telling you what I have to say.
As hard as I try I can't let you in,
Cause all you do is hurt me again and again.
The words you spit tear at my soul,
Pushing me closer to letting you go.
It feels like I have to fight for my life,
But every time I try you just make me cry.
I will bend and I will break,
Because it's all I can take.
I fall to pieces in front of you,
Not knowing what else to do.
I stare at my reflection in the mirror,
Wishing how much I wasn't her.
The bruises fade a day at a time,
But scars remain imprinted in my mind.
You'll never know the damage you have done,
Every battle you picked you have won.
My heart is shattered thanks to you,
You left me battered and bruised.
I now pick up the rest of the pieces,
And heal what's left of me.
