Martyr of my time

Martyr of my time

A Story by Plagued Monumentally

He etches the symbol into my forearm, something I was too afraid to do myself
the only symbol that binds us all together.

"You could of been great! You could of made him proud!" He screams at the top of his lungs.

All the morphine in the world couldn't distract me from the pain I was feeling.
And not just physically, but mentally.

He broke me down in the name of God
And he just expects me to take it all in and nod.

"Forget the pain, forget the yelling, forget the heartbreak. Be the woman your father raised you to be!" He spat his words out with venomous hate.

He gives me an ogle stare, something that no lover could bare.
I fight back the tears, knowing that all my fears weren't doing me any good.
But now that he has me, I'm not sure I can stand on my own.

I stumble, I fall, I get back up and do it all again.

"Smile, forget it all, and you'll be with him again." 
He bends down and whispers in my ear, "father protect her so."
Then I hear the shot gun go off,
I was his sweet sacrifice.

very interesting, and very well-written. one thing to watch our for is your tenses. there is at least one verb that is done in the past, as opposed to the present in which the story is written

Nice length, bitter sweet and timid but filled with a passionate confusion and a whirlwind of terrors, shocking but contrasted with addictive language.
