I wanted to be yours

I wanted to be yours.

I wanted to be yours.

The dreams I would have where I never left your embrace,

Where my favorites.

You made me feel safe.

Except when you didn’t.

Those times that you didn’t, when you hurt me.

When you hit me so hard I had bruises for weeks

“ I didn’t even hit you that hard ”

Until you did.

I cried for a long time.

In my room alone

Waiting for you to text

When you never would.
