But I Still Love Him

I hear your screaming, So I begin to shake And hyperventilate. I ask myself why I made such a mistake. You get closer and closer, With a baseball bat at hand. ‘Baby, I’m sorry for what I did, But why you hurt me like this, I don’t understand.’ No sincerity did I get from my plea, Instead you physically, And verbally, Abused me. A smack in the face begins the ceremony It hurt, I couldn’t help groaning. Because sound escaped my lips, Another encounter with the bat, on my hips. The monster flees, leaving this poor girl in pain Not realizing that there’s something wrong in what he did, And that he’s mentally insane. I lie on the ground With broken bones, And bruises covering every inch of my skin And yet I don’t know why, But I still love him.
