Nothing

Standing there struggling to breathe
Up against the wall
Your hand at my throat
There was a fury like I have never seen in your eyes

Another evening of wrath
Pinned to the ground
Strangled by your wedding ring
I don’t want my daughter to hear, but she does

Venom spewing from your mouth for hours
Murdering my thoughts
Poisoning my soul
You wanted me to be as dead inside as you

Your comments still haunt me
I still bleed
From words shoved down my throat
Piercing me like brand new razor blades

Now you say you love me
Please don’t leave
You are nothing without me
Sadly, I have been nothing with you
