He hit her hard this time.

He hugged her,

told her he wouldn't do it again.

She forgave him.

She forgives him every time.

The pain from you never goes away.

I love you?

Truth,

I'm insecure,

I need your support.

Truth,

I don't love you.

Truth,

I love when you hit me,

it distracts me from my emotional pain.

Truth,

I love the attention.

Truth,

You're really sweet when you aren't drinking.

Truth,

I only lie about the bruises,

So they can't take you away.

Truth,

My family knows the truth.

Truth,

I will never leave you.

Truth,

I'm afraid of you.

Truth,

I love when you lie to me.

Truth,

I'm killing myself.

Truth,

It isn't your fault.

It isn't your fault.

It isn't your fault.

It's my fault.

I deserve this.

I messed up.

You're innocent.

I don't need help.

I can't breathe.

No one will ever know.

Don't leave.

Don't say it.

Shh.
