Your stunning wavy hair is just like the ocean’s currents. Nobody is perfect, but boy you come close.
You illuminate any situation with your boyish smile and uplifting laugh.
I don’t understand why you love me.
Endless memories we share with each other will end today for I can no longer be your babe.
Our relationship is like distant stars.
Together we seemed perfect, but behind closed doors we were everything was falling apart.
You hid your dark side from everyone except me.
You loved to push me around and bruise my body.
You’ve told me you loved me every time your fist rose from my face.
My numb body is left purple and blue with an endless recap of what you did to me.
You know my heart yearns for you, but my body aches because of you also.
Baby I love you, but we can’t be together. Our love is strong, yet I deserve better.
