Battered

alone
i cried by my bedside
listing to the click
               click
               click
of the clock
mocking your promised words
"I'll never hit you, again I PROMISE
                     I Promise
                 i promise"
'There all lies
    There all lies'
my tear drops cried
as they somberly
fell down swollen cheeks
slowly,
    i stood on my feet
legs covered by scars of defeat
"i'll never hit you!
      I'll Never Hit You!
            I'LL NEVER HIT YOU"
'lies Lies LIES'
my tears cried once more
falling
on the cold wooden floor
my face grew accustomed to
shaken
i washed my face
saw the pink water
drain down the sink
carrying lost hopes and dreams
"LIER LIER LIER'
   my eyes screamed
as they looked at my 
battered reflection
blurry
tired of attempting perfection
"LIER, full of lies"
my distraught soul cried
as my broken nails
scrambled for 
shades
to cover sore blue-purple eyes
'lies,full of lies'
I painfully said standing
as i closed his door with no
good byes
