This one isn’t full of wishful thinking or hopeful ideas. It’s something I experienced before. Love and relationships are such a beautiful thing, until they aren’t. The pain and hurt that people feel sometimes manifests in a hurtful and abusive way when things come to an end. Whether the words are said out of anger or they are true – they pierce straight to your soul.
This is a poem I wrote after feeling like I was already down for the count and the blows just kept on coming – things were said to me that I’ll never forget. I forgive this person as I believe it to have come from a dark place of pain – but I had to release the feelings and they manifested as this poem.
Instead of giving me spaceYou chased me down
Stuck the knife in my chest
And twisted it round
As I lay bleeding
You continued your pleading
Never once conceding
Just a continual beating
Then One last request
Against my dying breathe
You asked for my help
Then stomped on my chest
I surrender…
I cannot go on
What once was love
It’s really gone
