Today

TODAY Today he said he loved me He hasn't said it for a while He uses his shirt sleeve To dry tears from his eyes He said that he forgives me For all the things I did Even if it was nothing In his eyes it was something. Today he said I looked beautiful I wore the red dress that I loved So many reminders of hurt That fabric held inside it To sexy, to slutty , go on fix it I paired it with gold heels Yes , the ones he bought me They make me feel special. Today he said my makeup looks good Little does he know , it hides the bruises The ones he left when he smacked me about Oh what good was it to scream and shout He pulled my hair, and slammed my head So many times I wished I were dead But, today someone took special care Did my makeup and did my hair. Today he brought me flowers The white Lillie's I like The pain built up inside me It cut like a dull knife Slowly , but surely it hurt alright He couldn't see , it couldn't be He was taking my life. Today he kissed my forehead He has not done that it years He puts on a show in front of our peers He cried and bawled, held his hair tight Played the role of a husband all through the night I watched from above as the man I loved played the scene to a capital T I watched them lay into the ground My still, white decaying body.
