Chosen One

You're beautiful, I'm sure you know. Girls surround you, hoping to be yours. You chose me. One month was all it took. Forty-three thousand, eight hundred minutes. Our first I love you's. You chose me. We spent all our time together. I lost those closest to me, but I had you. You chose me. Why are you screaming? He's just a friend, I love you. You chose me. My friends are asking about this fresh bruise. I tell them I fell. They believe me. How could I tell them the man I loved hit me. You chose me. My best friend signs my cast. She didn't bother asking what happened. She knew. You chose me. Curled in a corner. My arms protecting my face. You yell. You scream. You hit. You chose me. I lay in a hospital bed. You're nowhere to be found. The nurse asks me, and I tell her everything. You chose me. You're in handcuffs, swearing you'll be back. You're in prison and I'm still terrified. You chose me. You chose me. And I didn't realize that sometimes being chosen, Is the worst thing that can happen.
