Abuse

Tears running down the side of my face 
The pain still relatively new

My eyes clenched shut
The pain increases
The reality of what has occurred sets in

The question of "Why?" is repeated in my head
Again a familiar pain is felt
Now in a different place
This is the last blow

*body hits the floor*

Now I understand why people say love is dangerous. But I will still never understand why we hurt the people we love. More importantly why we abusn the people we love.
