IF HE ONLY KNEW
Close your eyes and open your mind
Now look closely
Can you see what I see.
Nothing but darkness mostly.
My eyes were blackened and face was swollen
I have footprint bruises in my side
where he consistently kick me in the colon.
If he only knew
His punches and deadly looks
gave me scary dreams
And that his words alone
damaged my self-esteem.
If he only knew
The only time I felt safe
and he showed me much respect
Was when he held me tightly
and gently kissed my neck.
If he only knew
There were many nights
I didn’t want to be bothered
he didnt really care.
he made me go thought long nights and many hour of sex
