Unhealed Wounds

There's unhealed wounds surrounding my shattered heart,
Poison running through my blood which you helped start.
Unwanted thoughts flowing through my innocent mind,
Of wanting to leave this horrible world that God designed.

Remembering the moments when you slapped my face,
I was shocked and afraid to run back to that place.
What I had called home was living in constant fear,
Cause I learned not to judge from what may not appear.

Purple hand marks covered my tanned back everyday,
I'd cry at night telling myself it would all be okay.
A tough knight in shining armor would come rescue me,
Releasing me from her prison, setting me free.

His hands were smothering me, unable to breathe,
Screaming and yelling, wishing that he would leave.
Choking my throat so tight that I couldn't escape,
Pleading to him please no, this is wrong, this is rape.

Breaking down on my knees with the glass in my hand,
Tears were soaring because no one could understand.
My body was shaking, it had become so numb,
Realizing I'd finally reached the rock bottom.

There's unhealed wounds surrounding my shattered heart,
Poison running through my blood which you helped start.
Unwanted thoughts flowing through my innocent mind,
Of wanting to leave this horrible world that God designed.
