I’ve Been….Part 6
Look what you put me through
Love don’t beat on you.
throw milk in your face.
Drag you on the floor.
Call you out your name.
Make you feel sad and blue.
Play the blame game.
Become disrespectful.
That shit wasn’t cute.
Thought I was property.
That I belonged to you
Honesty,
how did you really expect?
for me to stay with you
When you were doing me
So wrong; I mean dirty.
All I did was love you.
YEAH! youuuu
I’ve been timid of your voice.
I’ve feared your presence.
I used to jump, duck, or blink.
within seconds
My arms will block my face.
from your hands,
Which felt like weapons!!!
I was helpless to
your reflexes and reactions
I clearly understood.
your intentions were no good
Me! giving you second chances.
You somehow misunderstood.
Because you kept beating on me
in the house, and
even outside in
our own neighborhood
How could you,
I loved you; I trusted you!
