I Survive

Daggers, Swords, Knives Things that can kill in a blink of an eye. That is what your words are made out of.. Break me down with your kiss of death Breath into me that vapor of poison That shrinks my veins Suffocates my lungs to where I can barely breathe. And yet I still can mutter the words " I Love You "... you touch not gently but ever so rough Your arms around me .. not a sign of endearment but a sign of hate.. And despair is what I felt because of it.. But yet never regret, for it is past and it is a lesson I will never forget. And I Build And I Stand And I Survive....
