I Would Never Hurt You
“Come on! You know I would never hurt you,”
That sentence holds so much pain untold
The invisible scars he has left littered all over my mind cannot be erased
The words said cannot be taken back
The cruel things he spoke feel like black sludge running through my body
They never letting me rest, always flowing
No one seems to know why my first thought is to dodge a incoming gator skin ball
Why I start to tear up when someone simply raises their voice
That I only know self-defense cause I knew he would hurt me if I couldn't fight back
It’s trauma
It tears me apart, day by day
Heartstrings slowly serving as I comfort others while I slowly fall apart
That monster who hides in a mans shell can never love me
He only wants me by his side so I can boost him
As he slowly deteriorates me
With cruel smile laced on his lips
I would never hurt you he says as he lets me drown in my pain he has given me
