A Man With Green Eyes

by SarahSYP   Jul 16, 2006


There's a man i my life,
But don't we all?
I loved him,
I guess he loved me back.

I looked through is green eyes,
So calm, Gentle , and sweet.
Day after day,
Night after night,
I would meet him,
After school, after cheer leading.
Even on the weekends.

There was something no one knew,
But me and only me.
He hits me,
when i was late
Or said something wrong.
Bruises, scars,
Here and there.

When people asked me,
"What happened?"
I would just simply tell them a lie.

Day after day,
Week after week,
I had more and more bruises.

Then at a party
My mom caught him.
My ears ringing,
My face burning.
My life fading.

When i woke up
The next day,
I was in rehab.
People visited me,
But only on Wednesdays and Sundays.

After i came out of rehab.
My family and friends had a party
For me.
And my sister who had ran away
-came back.

But some days i still think of him.
I mean the man with green eyes.
Whom i shall never forget.
For he has taking apart of me
With him.
And that i will never forget.
