You said you loved me
you used me
every bruise you gave
i hid
protecting you
fooling myself you loved me
each time i saw a fist coming my way I'd blame my self
blood splattered across my face and cloths
the blood staining
the food i cook thrown across the room
my favorite vase smashed
i twist my ring around my finger
remembering the good old days
before the fists,feet and any object you could lay you're hands on came along
each one of our baby's gone
you did not want them
saying if i couldn't look after you how could i look after a child
you never said sorry
just saying how it was my fault
how i should do as i was told
do my work
cover my face
we fought you grabbed the closest object
a knife
you got me
my stomach
arm my heart
i was gone
at last i was free
my soul lifting from my battered body
young again
i bear no marks
I'm free
