Love Hurts

~ Love hurts, like a bullet straight to the heart. Hurts to feel the aching pain, hoping it heals. Day after day, he is abusing me. I thought it will stop. He claimed he was "sorry," & claimed he "loves," me. If he loves me, why is he abusing me? Everyone thought our relationship was "okay." Do they even know what I go through everyday? He swung his hand straight to my face, I touched it & felt a stinging pain. Then I fainted. Woke up the next day, saying the same thing to me like he says everyday. I hate going through this excruciating pain, but who can I blame? I can only.blame myself at the end of the day. I'm the fool, who's stayed. I'm the scared one, who's afraid to tell. Question is, where can I get help? Who can I trust? I thought I loved him, but it was only LUST. My bruises might have healed, but to me it feels as if they are still there. I'm scarred, & still remember what i had to deal with every day. Finally packed up & left. Found a place to stay, but till this day I have nightmares of him hitting me & me feeling the same stinging pain. - Mani Blue <3
