Regina Wilson Poet I do not know?

I Love You

thought I'd always love you
couldn't see another way
Please don't hit me
I love you
I would say

Didn’t know that love was not supposed to hurt
that crying through the night just wasn't going to work
Please, I didn't mean to
I love you
I would say

caking on makeup
turtleneck shirts
to hide what his fists had left behind
Please, I'm sorry
I love you
I would say

like a songbird in a cage
I never learned to fly
all I could ever do is sob beg and cry
Please don't hurt me
I love you
I would say

walked around on eggshells
to try to prevent this hell
Please what did I do
I love you
I would say

supper on the table kids in the bed
he comes to me wanting
God I wish I were dead

they all heard and saw the bruises and black eyes
but no one would ever help me, I often wonder why
