The Day You Hurt Me

It was August
I remember so well
Because I walked so far to your house
And it was hot as hell

Everything was going fine
Until we broke out into a fight
I sat on your porch
I was going to stay there all night

I wanted to stay
Until everything was okay
You told me you wanted to talk
Because you couldn't stand things being this way

As I sat beside you
Your anger seemed to take control
Your harsh words were eating at my mind
And messing with my heart and soul

I got up to leave
This must of been a mistake
To think you'd really talk to me
When your brief sweet voice sounded all too fake

Trying to walk out the door
I seen your palm come at my cheek
I fell to the floor, and couldn't get up
I felt so incredibly weak

Hearing your harsh words still flowing
I was on your floor in disbelieve
Telling myself
Yes its true, he really did hit me

As I got up and ran out of the house
With tears pouring down my face
And people glaring at me
As if I didn't have a place

As I walked home
I came to the conclusion
That my questioning being with this guy
Was no longer confusion

I was a victim
Of a little boy who couldn't handle his anger
He acts so different when hes mad
Even to himself hes a stranger

The memory seems so far away
But it's only been 3 years
Wish you could experience my nightmares
And see all the many tears

Your probably sitting back now
Thinking you got the best of me
And that's okay
Because I got the best by just relying on me!!
