My Abuse

My skin begins to turn black and blue,
my bones begin to crack under the pressure,
their hateful words begin to seep deep into me,
i begin to believe everything they say is true,

for years on end i\'ve felt nothing but pain,
always waiting for the blow to come,
waiting for my \"mistake\" to be dealt with,
just waiting for it to end,

each day his grip becomes titer,
each day her screams become louder,
and each day i wish it would end,
but it never does,

there\'s no escaping this misery,
my fate has long been chosen,
i just wish that once only once,
there was no bruises or screams,
to be seen or heard within.
