Your Memory Bruises Me

by Bugg   Jul 15, 2008


"Please, I don't want to die."
I say with tears in my eyes.
"You're not going to!
I'm going to take care of you."

Laying me on the bed,
You gently kiss my forehead.
You smoothly take off my top.
Looking at the bruises, you have to stop.

I felt liquid running down my face,
Blood pouring down at a fast pace.
My scalp split open from a sharp backhand,
The worst I've ever been hit by a man.

"He hit me... so many times.
He didn't think it was a crime,
But I love him with all my heart.
I don't know where to start.

Me and him, we were so in love
Just perfect like the wings of a dove.
He was everything to me,
He was what a man should be."

You run to get a towel for my wound.
My weak stomach feels ballooned.
I feel so weak all too fast,
This pain is going to last.

"He's on drugs, he's not this way.
I swear, with his life, he'll pay."
And with that you walk out the door.
My blood soaked towel falls to the floor.

My body feels like it's floating,
And I see him gloating.
Telling everyone how hard his hits were,
His voice getting louder with each hit of liquor.

"I'm sorry, it doesn't have to happen like this,
We can solve it with just a simple kiss!
I forgive you for all you've done!
But you lose life to a bullet from my friend's gun."

**I wrote this for my ex-boyfriend who did beat me, but he committed suicide. My friend really didn't kill him. I owe my life to my friend, though. He walked in on my boyfriend as he was hitting me. It was hard on me... This poem was really hard for me to write. I know it's not very good, but it's special to me.

    Ahhh, this poem gave me goosebumps. I'm sooo sorry to hear this happened to you. You did a wonderful job though bringing out emotions and such and sharing them with us. It takes a lot to write about a real expirience such as this.. Very sad write, but you did a wonderful job with your emotions which makes this poem a definite 5/5. [:

    I'm extremely sorry to hear about what happeend to you. I do like your poem, quite a bit. Usually when poems are personal they tend to show the emotion that you put behind them, and that makes the poem better over a lot of the rest. You have a great writing style, and the emotion you put behind each word can be felt so easily. Great job on this, and a great poem. I'm glad you could share this :)

    "I'm sorry, it doesn't have to happen like this,
