Punishment Because of Love

The feeling of a burn pulses across my body

I've grown accostumed to the pain like one would a hobby

 

The feeling of hands around my throat are shown by the bruises 

It always seems like I'm the one who loses

 

The feeling of abandonment seeps into my soul

It will only be a while until I turn cold 

 

My one mistake was something I couldn't control

I had accepted that I would never fit the mold

 

My one mistake was to love all

And it became my biggest Downfall

 

My sexuality became a weapon 

That people would use to threaten

 

Until I escaped from the dark abyss 

and finally found my bliss..
