You shouted again,
just like you did yesterday,
you called me names,
belittled me so I would stay.

You shouted that I fail you,
I do not give you the respect your due,
I am always in the way,
and for simply being, I shall pay.
You yelled that my life was worthless,
and everything I touch, I curse,
everything I love hates me,
you state this so matter-of factly.
I sit there numb, I have forgotten how to feel,
I have learnt to forget all that makes me real,
I lift my head and slowly look
at the man who came along, and my life he took.

You hit me again,
just like yesterday,
you caused me pain,
to make me afraid.

You push me, and I fall,
I lay there not moving at all,
as you look upon me, I personify disgust,
so you punch me more and watch my lip bust.
You punch me over and over on my body,
making your mark and branding me,
you need to prove that you are a man,
so as I cry, you lift your hand.
You slap me right across my cheek,
you think your strong,but really you are weak,
You kick me while I am on the floor,
I shared with you my life, and now its not mine
anymore.

You cried again,
just like yesterday,
you felt the shame,
you make me feel everyday.

You stop shocked, looking at your hands
asking how beating a woman makes you a man,
you shake, tremble, ashamed at your sin
you look at me and now it is you begging.
"please forgive me, It will not happen anymore"
I look at you, now it is you on the floor,
Scared, lonely, hurting inside,
this time its you stripped of your pride.
You sob, you cry, you call out to me,
to hold you, so you feel close to my body,
I do not say no for I need to, too much
and now it is you, on the floor feeling my touch.

I forgave you again,
just like yesterday,
I know its insane,
but I just cant walk away.
