Words, spoken
from
your lips
hit harder
than
the blows
you made
at
my face.
Every sound,
traveling
in
my ear
stings harder
than
the blood
in
my eyes.
The cut,
on
my lip
grows bigger
with
your kiss
goodbye.
You
hurt me
but please
don't leave
me,
here,
to
wipe away
the tears
alone,
again.

This piece I wrote with an abusive relationship in mind. Teenagers today are too emotionally attatched to sometimes understand the actual problem they may be facing, abuse is one of them.
