Nancy Steele Poems

The fights, those nights I tried to pretend it doesn't hurt,
The way I prayed someday that you could love me,
Really, and completely,
Just how I wanted it to be, but no, so wrong, I can't believe I stayed with you so long, you hit, you spit, you split every bit of me, yeah, you stole, you broke, you're cold, you're such a joke to me, for every last bruise you gave me, for every time I sat in thears, for the million ways you hurt me, I just want t tell you this: You broke my world, made me strong, Thank you! My heads near dead, just the way you wanted it, my souls stone cold, I was under your control, so young, so dumb, knew just how to make me succumb,
...

The knife drinks the blood from his skin as he things of the night before,
when she told him their love was too thin,
he tried not to think of the sore,
left on his heart from her words,
...

I try to get your attention,
but you turn away.
I don't know what to do,
all I think about is you.
