Silent Pain
Talking, talking, talking,
That's all he did and I had to listen, his voice ringing in my head, it hurts!
That's how he abused me time and time again,
I misunderstood,
It hurt but it was normal,
I cried but it was fickle,
I thought I was just weak,
See, he carved a mark that could not heal,
But it was alright, I understood his words,
"you are dumb, stupid, fat, ugly, pathetic to the sight"
Suprisingly he was right, I was everything he said I was,
No need convincing,
Maybe I was naive in believing, in love in blindness, my pride tarnished,
My heart trampled on dusty legs a trampede made,
His words tore me apart, I felt my soul depart from my body, I wondered why I was breathing,
Stepping stones to my grave, I saw the last of my bed.
