ForgivnessA Poem by breakthebrokenoneI have written this following an assault that my now ex boyfriend did on Saturday night to me which almost resulted in my death...
You tried to break me
The devil wore your skin as clothing And it was the perfect fit He smiled with your lips that I once believed were beautiful And as soft as the petals of a rose And he laid hands on me Hands that's held and trusted Trusted to never touch me in the ways you did that night He used your voice to taunt me To try and install fear that would make me weak But instead it filled me Filled me with the adrenaline I needed to scream A blood chilling scream that pleaded for deaf ears to have clarity And for the ears of God to answer my prayers Prayers for someone to intervene and to stop the chaos Chaos that for you was a game But for me nearly ended in a wretched breath But I am not broken And I forgive you But the forgiveness isn't because you deserve it And it isn't to make you feel better Because you don't deserve anything close to forgiveness I forgive you because I deserve the peace And rest from the torment And a break from the nightmares And to be me again © 2017 breakthebrokenone |
