Abuse Poem by Nicole Brewer

This is mine, I wrote it, Don't steal it

They were there

Im so sure of it

These feelings deep inside

Where did they go?

I need them

To keep me Sane

To keep me alive

I need you

But It's empty

No more love

So why pretend

That you still care?

My heart is aching

From the hate

and my skin

Is black and blue

I cover it up

And just pretend

it never happened

But it did.

And I say,

'He loves me,

It was my fault

I got him mad.'

Yet I know,

I'm in danger

I'm not safe

But I still love you.
