What would you say?

by Beautiful Tragedy   Dec 26, 2018


What would you say?
If you were allowed to speak to me for ten minutes;
What would you say?
Would you say I’m sorry and mean it?
Would you tell me you really did love me,
But things got so out of hand and you were hurting and that’s why you took control of my life?
would you look into my eyes long enough to see the battle wounds-
Some of which are still bleeding while others have scarred over,
And face the pain you so selfishly and intentionally caused me?
Or would you turn your head like you’ve always been so good at and pretend that I’m the bad guy;
That I’m the one who twisted the dagger repeatedly until the tissue around it
gave way-
only to shove it in a new spot with a twinkle in my eye and the words “I love you” leaving my mouth.
So I’m curious-
If you had ten minutes to speak whatever peace you had to say to me;
What would you say?
And;
Would I even care?

    A powerful and valid question that could be asked of anyone who sought to demean, control, violate or ruin the life of another. Sadly we cant help who we fall in love with but in love the bare minimum is that each person deserves respect and honesty. Happy New year. Milly x
