This poem i wrote when i was 13, i was in a abusive relationship, i know it isn't written that well, and even though i have changed my style, i don't want to change this poem.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tears falling,
thats the way it starts,
from all the pain form a broken heart,
from all the times that your right hook left me in the dark,
from all the time my mind and heart were apart,
from all the times you promised it wouldn't happened any more.
just as you walked threw that door,
i didn't know that your love for me was so poor,
i didn't know i would again fall to the floor,
just as i did so many times before,
it kept repeating more and more,
screams for help,
was the only way that i dealt,
with all YOUR anger that I felt,
because i didn't get help,
after the first time you walked threw that door,
because i didn't know thats all your were in for,
to make my lip bloody once more,
to make me scream upon the floor,
even if i knew
what you would do
if i stayed with you
but i love you...
and so right to left,left to right,
thats all i knew from day till night,
no matter how much i would fight,
i knew my eye would again grow swollen tight,
to me it was always night,
because i was always knocked out
from you, who ignored all my shouts
from you, who had constant doubts
from you, who made constant bouts
and so, i had to hide the marks,
from all those times that your right hook left me in the dark,
from all those times that my mind and heart were apart,
because tears falling,
is the way it starts.
