Hurt
He hit me so hard
I blacked out
left me here
cowering naked in the corner
not just my body battered but my soul
never again will it be whole
with each dig his erection grew
gone the man I once knew
this is his passion, how he gets his kicks
My supposed crime - existing
my annoying habit - breathing
Last week I watched him sleep
the knife held tight
but I couldn’t do it
don’t have it in me
I have to get out of here
but I’m paralysed with fear
he’ll only come and get me
