The Day I Walked Away

I use to lay on your chest and listen to your heart beat.
You would always say,
"It's beating for you."
Just about every day.

Then you told your first lie,
I forgave you but never will I forget.
And I prayed each night you'd never lie again,
That was my one and only wish.

It didn't come true,
Because you told many more.
You'd say your sorry,
Tell me you loved me then walk out the door.

And I remember the first time,
You slapped me across the face.
I then looked up at you,
With such disgrace.

I tried to walk away,
But you pulled my hair.
Then you pushed me,
I fell to the ground but you didn't care.

I gazed up at you,
With tears in my eyes.
As you said,
"I don't care how hard you cry."

You walked away, as I sat there wondering,
What it was that I did wrong.
But I loved you so much,
And for that I had to stay strong.

Weeks pass, along with lonely nights,
My love never died for you.
Even though the bruises got worse,
And my heart split in two.

Some of my friends asked me,
Why haven't I called.
I simply relplied,
"He's never there to catch me as I fall."

So I told you one night,
"I want the bruises to fade."
You just responded,
"Tell anyone about this, and you won't live to see another day."

I didn't keep your secret, so you hit me again,
I screamed, "Leave me alone!"
But you just said,
"Don't raise your voice to me in that tone."

I didn't want to hear,
Anything you had to say.
So I ran for the door,
And this time, you let me walk away.

I waited by the phone,
For it to ring and it be you,
Just to tell you,
How I hate who you turned into.

But it's been three years,
And we haven't spoke since that day.
The day that I,
Walked away.

This is a true story. it was of my first love. it was hard for me to even write this, but i did. i had to let these feelings out somehow. please tell me what you think..
