All I Did Was Love You

Your fists hit me But I'm numbed, and feel nothing I'm beginning to think I deserve this Your body invades mine But I just lay there As a single tear rolls down my cheek You glare at me With such anger in your eyes What did I do that was so wrong? All I did was love you You talk down to me Like you're lecturing a child I lower my head in shame You take one step forward in my direction And I flinch And I'm afraid to breathe The violence that errupts from you Is too much for me to bare You've killed us Now you're killing me My eyes are open wide at night I'm too terrified to sleep Wondering what will come next Pondering some method of escape Your words cut me Like a sharpe knife You're cruelty is unnerving But why? All I did was love you The fear inside me grows As you tower over me with your fists clenched tightly I crawl deeper inside my hole Words, are becoming harder for me to speak You threaten me And make me cry You're angered by my tears But I can't stop them And it's like I'm pushing myself head on into my doom All I did was love you Now here I am Trapped and hurting What have I done to deserve this? Tell me please All I did was love you.This was based on a past relationship of mine.... This poem reflects some very hard times of mine... It was difficult for me to share this... and... um.... yeah... Written November 18th, 2001 © on Nov 18 2001 09:20 AM PST, Teresa   18 • 0 • 1
