Away

by Brittany   Nov 3, 2012


The sound of your voice draws goosbumps to my skin.
I feel such a tingle over my body,
Its as if I was being hit by a cold wind.

Being around you makes me feel safe and calm.
I know that no one can hurt me.
Except when you are grabbing me by the arms.
Your hands fitting into the bruises on my skin
Perfectly.

I know it's my fault that I make you so mad.
I try my hardest so you wont get sad.
Everything you do is perfect, I see no bad.
I am just blind to your evil.

I ignore everything that you do to me because I love you.
Knowing that you love me too under all that anger.
We have really good days, The bad days are now rare.
I love being with you and the time that we may share.

I wear so much makeup now to hide my black eyes.
When things get bad, They get out of hand.
I cannot take a stand.
Backing down I feel so worthless, Thoughts through my
head.
Remembering all the good words that you have said.

Maybe it's time to walk away.

    Yes, maybe it is time........anyway, great poem and very expressive. Hard subject to write about and you haven't backed out in any way.
