Destroyed

A knife through the heart
Pain deep within my soul
He promised to love me
Destroying me his only goal

He knew I would fall in love
Saw the potential in me
Looked past my outer shell
To the vulnerable girl I could be

He told me that he loved me
Held me close to him at night
Love kept me in the dark
Stole from me my sight

I left my friends behind
Decided to shut my family out
So when he left me alone
No one else was about

I cried for so many days
Took slashes out of my arm
Without him I wanted to die
So I started to self harm

He came back and forth
Keeping me under his spell
Then the violence started
I learned to live in hell

I was just a doll to him
He got off on me crying
Knowing that because of him
My heart was slowly dying.

I walked away finally
Some of the bruises went away
But I will always be reminded
By the eternal scars that have stayed.
