Is This What Love Feels Like?


I wake up with dark circles under my eyes

My voice is hoarse from all my cries

My once beautiful chocolate skin is now covered in bruises that are worse now than they've ever been

I wonder what he did after I blacked out

My eyes red and puffy from the events of the night before

He just left me here on the cold floor

I really do hope he doesn't come back and beat me some more

I can't leave because he has made me believe he is the only one who cares

I have no one here to wake me from this nightmare
