My Mistake Poem by Star Dream Holiday

I dont know why
I let you treat me the way you do
Why did I let myself
become the fool
You lied and degraded me
told me you loved me
held me in your arms
and whispered in my ears
You touched me
made me cry at night
made me hurt
you made me fight
My mistake
was I loved you so much
your harsh words
softened the blows
as your hands
cut through my heart
You called me beautiful
then bruised me invisibly
Shunned me when I talked
slapped me when I laughed
kicked me when I walked
hunted me when I ran
My mistake
was I loved you so much
I let you hurt me
mentally at first
then brutally physical
When you finished
I lay crying...
sighing
thanking it was over
not realizing
that I lay dying
In the end
You were my mistake.
