What you taught me

Love, you taught me what it was

Screams

Crashing

Broken glass on the ground

Holes in the wall

Dark bruises on my skin

Bruises that tell everyone what really happens

Bruises that I must hide everyday

In fear of the look my mother will give me

When she finally sees them

Love is the one thing that I will never be able to have

Love is pain and suffering

Crying on the ground

In a puddle of blood

Left within an inch of life

Darkness surrounding me

Love are the demons

Demons that haunt my dreams

Demons that mock me

Laugh at the naive little girl

The girl that loves to attract them

Who gives them everything including her life

Leaving her a broken and unwanted mess

You said that what we had is love,

The touching

The crying

The pain

The yelling

That is what you taught me

That is all I know

But that isn’t love

Love isn’t pain

Love isn’t suffering

Love isn’t screaming

Love isn’t blood stains that will never come out

I will have love

You lied to me

Made me feel worthless

Love is butterflies

Love is pure

Love is having someone there for you

Love is not crying alone

Love is beautiful

And you are ugly

I will find love

But not with you

I want real love

Not what you taught me
