He smiled and charmed you,

he was nice to you in the beginning,

but then he started to get violent,

he apologized and bought you flowers and said 

"I Love You"

 

Two weeks later he hit you,

you cried and threatened to leave him,

you both knew you wouldn't,

you Love him too much.

In the beginning, he took you out on dates but...

 he would fight anyone who looked at you, smiled at you.

He said it was because he "Loves you" 

 

Your family doesn't speak to you because "he doesn't love you,

he abuses you". your friends don't come around anymore because 

"he always makes you leave us early".

 

Last week he choked you, left blacks and blues around those 

"pretty brown eyes", but it's okay because he bought you 

that expensive makeup and it made those scars disappear.

"I do it because I love you, baby".

 

  But now he's beat you so bad your heart stopped beating, remember

when he said,: "your heart only beats for me"? 

Now your heart isn't beating at all. Everything he gave you is in that casket with you

the flowers, the makeup, the bruises.

"I Love you, baby, I didn't mean to".

 

That isn't love.
