The scars you left

lottierose

you hurt me like no one ever could. Even now after months have passed your bitter words sting in my ears.

your terrific slaps bruise my helpless skin.

The marks are not leaving they are scaring.Each red lightning strike of a scar reminds me of the pain you inflicted.

I told you to stop. But the actions you pursued were more powerful than my words could ever be.

My cries drowned out by your forceful body pounding against mine. Perishing my fragile frame.

For a while i thought I could accept it, I could’ve stopped you if it were that bad I only have myself to blame.

As I lay here swimming in my bruises and scars I realise that you are the one to blame. For now the water will always be colder, lights always dimmer , and memories always haunting .
