I love you...I'll kill you.

by Jenni Marie   Mar 13, 2013


Tangled in knots, pulsating
in a blender too fast to keep up with
feeling shards of thy heart splatter,
break, drop uselessly to the floor

...

I didn't need them
anyway.
Take them, have them
...use them.

Mumble how you care
for me but we can't
be together,

sigh softly as you {justify}
what you did to me
lowered eyes and regretful
tone as you tell me
...I never meant to hurt you.

My bruises say differently,
sweetheart.
The marks that still haven't
completely faded...tell me;

you are a liar.

Reliving that moment
when your hands reached
out for me;
reliving how scared I was.

How hurt.
Broken.
Tormented...
terrified.

Silent tears flowed;
yet I turned my head from you,
with lips parted in a silent
desperate cry
but still...

still I refused
to let you see.

And you will never know
how much you
hurt me, emotionally.
I will never tell you.

Because as you whisper
"I never meant to hurt you"
my lasting bruises tell me

you're a liar
and;

you no longer hold
any power over me

    Jenni! I liked how your poems always seemed so raw and it shows that your aren't afraid of letting go of your emotions in your poems. It drew a really clear picture of what you were going through and usually it's this sense of closeness between the reader and the author which makes it a piece worth reading. Not many can convey their feeling across in such a seemingly effortless manner. I especially loved the first verse and i am one with vivid imagination so imagine the impact of that verse on me Haha. Commendable job!

    ^Ha, I can totally hear the sarcasm in your voice which fits all too well with what he has said and how he probably means none of it.

    The ending was perfect! I can only imagine how much pain he put you through. Something physical like that is something you probably will never forget unfortunately. But though it may hurt, you will never let it show which shows so much strength. Anyone who hurts you physically or emotionally, or even both, does not deserve your love. Stay strong as always, I'm glad you have poetry as your release. Nicely done!
