Painful Memory

The sooner you leave
the better I can breath.
When you stand behind
me watching every move I
make, making sure no
 mistakes are made.

I can feel your 
breath on my neck,
it sends a shiver down
my back.

Thinking what will 
happen next.  Will I be
thrown across the room, 
choked, beaten?
I pray to God that some how 
he will get you away but God
doesn't hear me pray.

As my head goes into the
wass, I can feel warm
blood rush, into my hand, I 
limp slowly away, tring to
find my way to my room
where I may rest, but you chase
after me, hold me back, 
as I try to fight back.

You relize you got 
the best of me, you 
walk slowly away.  I 
count your foot steps, to 
make sure your gone, then
slowly I, get up and look 
straight ahead, wishing the bash
was harder so I could 
be dead.

Crawling softly to bed, 
I lay my sleepy head,
to rest.  I fall slowly asleep
until  the morning comes, 
and awakens my beaten soul.
