I LOVE YOU
By brokenbandagedbetter
Thought I'd always love you
couldnt see another way
Please dont hit me
I love you
I would say
Didn’t know that love was not supposed hurt
that crying through the night just wasnt going to work
Please, I didnt mean to
I love you
I would say
Caking on makeup
turtleneck shirts
to hide what his fists had left behind
Please, I'm sorry
I love you
I would say
Like a songbird in a cage
I never learned to fly
all I could ever do is sob beg and cry
Please dont hurt me
I love you
I would say
Walked around on eggshells
to try to prevent this hell
Please what did I do
I love you
I would say
Supper on the table kids in the bed
he comes to me wanting
God I wish I were dead
No one would ever help me, I often wonder why
they all heard and saw
them sons of bitches can all fucking die!

i was there. i thought if i told him "I Love You" he'd stop, but he never did. The reason no one helped us is because WE WERE DOING IT TO OURSELVES. We stayed when we should not have. We kept on getting hit, kept on putting the makeup on. If someone would have told you to leave him you would have said "No, he needs me. Everyone needs love. Without me he would go insane/kill himself/drink himself to death/be alone", whatever. Don't you see? Holding on to the hate for all the people that didn't help you is doing nothing but refusing to admit that it was YOU who stayed. You who continued to let that happen to you. Where's the Better, BrokenBandaged?

I agree, fuck 'em all, when things like this happen you soon know who your friends are and usually they are few and far between!
