Once again I’m reminded,

Your temper is profound and you are always right.

You say it’s love and your helping me

But I’m left to wonder am I being deceived,

For I don’t understand what you have hoped to achieve.

Two years of your poison has certainly taken its toll on me.

Your words follow me like a ball and chain.

No longer together but the damage is already done.

I can't let my emotions out;

It's still all too much

I'll never be good enough.

Fat, ugly, worthless and unwanted is what you told me

Day after day without fault.

My skin burning like you branded me with those words

The tears I shed;

Couldn't fill up all bottles and jugs in the world.

At night my mind floods with red flash backs

I can not escape the pain you have inflicted on me

But I can hide it.

I wake up and cover my body from what you did to my once beautiful skin;

But I am at fault too because I have done harm to it too.
