Something Changed

TRIGGER WARNING:PHYSICAL ABUSE

I didn't know then

That it would

Happen again

You cried the same cry

And, you know what?

So did I

Day after day

But the pain

Felt the same

And after each and every cry

You told the same apology

Every single time

Then one day

There was no more tears

No more sadness in your eyes

You held no regret

And hit me again

No more apologies

To poor little Joe

No more assurance

That this pain

Will go

And I let it happen

Ever since I was

Ten

It was sad

All the years

That end up spent

Hurting over your fists

Hurting over your lies

Crying because I had no love

Sobbing because you had

My trust

I was so young

At the time

How could you not care?

I was so blind

I still loved you

No matter what

Even after those things you did

Maybe I was okay

Because I still

Got to live

I held onto hope

I was still just

A kid

Filled with niaevity

My life

I knew

You'd bid

From that day on

No sadness in your eyes

It was only disappointment

That shone in your light

When I was young

I struggled to find out

What I had done

Now I know

It was all you

That caused

My life

To be left

Askewed
