Damn You!



Damn you!
I blame you for my heartache,
The exceeding bleeding, an excruciating pain,
The crack of a whip, and the lash of a cane.
The fear I felt whilst you were around,
The suffering I dealt with, whilst beaten to the ground.
Was it timidity which haunted me?
I was blind, I couldn’t see.
One reason I never left you, I didn’t dare,
It was love that kept me there.
A powerful emotion, stronger every day,
I never saw my pain; I always looked away.
Before you hurt me there was a time,
I was yours, and you were mine.
Whilst lying in your arms, I was content,
The strolls on the beach, the love letters sent,
Our minds were one; our thoughts were the same,
But then it started, this sick, twisted game.
When you started to beat, I’d clutch you tight,
Hoping it’s just a bad dream.
But like sand in my hand, it slipped away,
Our chances of being a team.
The more you beat, the less it hurt,
And yet the more I cried.
Wilted, perished, gone so long,
I wish I had just died.
A silent expression, glazed over eyes,
A mere shadow of my past.
And one by one the lights went out,
Each one we had both cast.
And though I’ve no soul my body remains with you,
I can’t leave you after all we’ve been through.
So though it hurt, all that pain you put me through
Once I damn you to hell, I will still follow you.
