The One Before

Darling remember?
Remember?
The one before?
The one who would come knocking
Unexpectedly at my door
 
Darling remember?
Back when I was sane?
Until he destroyed me
And threw me in that pit of pain
 
Darling remember?
How when I used to cry?
He didn't wipe my tears
Or sing a lullaby..
 
He said I was beautiful
To make up for the bruises
And then strike me on the cheek
And say that I was useless
 
Remember, remember?
That night he tried to leave?
With the rope tied to the ceiling
And the stool under his feet?
 
I gently pulled him down
And cradled his body
And today he still insults me
Without ever saying sorry
 
Tell me you remember
The one who was there before
The one you encouraged
That I should love more..
