He Said He Loved Me

I lived in fear
One day too long
I thought it was right
But it turned out wrong
The charm he brought
Fooled me so well
He changed completely
And put me through Hell
It happened one day
He used his fists
He spit in my face
And he grabbed my wrists
He looked at me
And then he threw me down
Picked me back up
And pushed me around
I lost my breath
And I started to bleed
He pulled out a gun
And forced me to plead
I begged for my Life
But I knew I was done
Instead he stopped
And he dropped the gun
He grabbed my legs
And he dragged me away
Into the bedroom
On the bed I lay
Cold and breathless
I try to escape
But he's choking me now
And it turns to rape
He has his way
Until my body is limp
He punches my face
And he calls me a wimp
He screams in my face
And tells me he's won
I do not respond
So he gets the gun
This time is different
He isn't sane at all
The trigger is pulled
And I'm dead once and for all.

Remember Me

Remember me?
Shivering in the corner,
Afraid of your fists and rants
Hoping your mood would swing quickly
Wishing I could run,knowing I can't.
    Remember me?
Hiding in my bed at night
Deep under the sheets,not breathing
Praying he won't come for me tonight
Nasty words mixed with rage,seething
    Remember me?
Bearing the brunt of your rage
When I told you he touched me there
Innocent,I told you all of it,ashamed
Then you slammed me back in my cage
    Remember me?
Running,running as fast as I could
Looking for some sort of safety
I'd find it,I knew,if it only would
Reach out and gently embrace me
    Remember me?
Looking down at you,withered and dying
I reach within me to find some love
For this "mother" that left me crying
Finding none,I turn away
    When the darkness creeps over you
Ask your God for forgiveness as I can't 
Forgive what you've it m through
Rest well sweet Mother and.....
           Remember me.

I Never Was

I never was....
Daddy's little girl
sweetly spoiled
....softly held
gently nurtured
....fiercely protected
never beaten
....very popular
sought after
....never pretty
young long
....irresponsible
completely sane
....right about people 
a bad mother
.....pieced back together
thought about twice
....I never was
Heard when I screamed

Untitled

I've taken long journeys in dark places
Where the Devil dare not tread
    I've shaken hands warmly
With the taloned hand of Death
     I've wisely weathered ticking Years
Placed before me by Father Time
    I've cautiously befriended who I am
So I can recognize all my Pain
    I'm the Vessel of all that isn't 
And all that shouldn't be
    I've realized the Ability in my
Strength Integrity and Determination 
    I've become  wizened Veteren of Travel
In places the Devil dare not tread
