Hurt

The things he said hurt her terribly,
His words cut like knives,
But she wasn't allowed to scream
Because then people would see what was happening,
And they would know how terrible he was.  
No punches were thrown, no slaps were
Necessary to bruise her heart.  
Now with every beat her heart grows weaker.  
Her mind weakens with it thinking,
“What if he says it again, what if he hurts me again?  
What if it turns physical?”
She doesn't trust him, doesn't love him
The same way she used to.  
Her heart is damaged, and his words now have
Done too much damage for him to fix it.  
So she must find another, one who has
The capability of fixing her heart without hurting it more, someone with the true skills of a surgeon.  
She finds him, and grows to love him,
This one who has mended and enhanced her heart
In ways she cannot explain, but
She is not destined to be with him,
As her lover drags her back to the
Dark recesses of her mind where
She grows to hate herself because of his hurtful words.  
She prays that one day that
She will have the courage to break out of the cycle
And keep her heart intact and whole;
The way it was supposed to be.
A thought to all of those caught in an abusive relationship; you don't deserve this, and things will get better, but sometimes it's hard to find the courage to let go.  I believe in you <3
It’s been a year of falling in love with you / for a brief moment in time you looked at me / and saw a galaxy inside of me / but like the night sky / morning came and suddenly / I was too bright to look at for too long /

I don’t remember what it’s like / not to love you / it’s become a part of my daily routine / loving you is as natural to me / as brushing my teeth / or combing my hair / my love for you is a muscle memory / and forgetting how to love you / feels an awful lot like unlearning how to ride a bicycle /

I need to learn to look at you / and not see the sun / I built up my identity around loving you / and now I have nothing left / I need to grow again / from a seed to a flower / you used to make me bloom / but now I need to find a new way / to survive when the sun isn’t out /

don't tell me
that long distance relationships don't work
when even stuck a million miles apart
the sun still finds a way
to make the moon shine
The sun and the moon
