replacement of affection


He said he hates goodbyes 
He said he hates I love you's
He says he hates long hugs
These leave an ever lasting ecco
Of an empty reminder of affection he
Never experienced growing up
All he can remember are the loud lashes filled with hate every meaningless beating every blow to the face
I love you and long lasting hugs felt foreign to him ,those lashes and meaningless beatings were all he knew .
