VALERIE LYNN WRITES, IS THIS LOVE?

IS THIS LOVE?

I just want to forget
The time you said you loved me
When you slammed my head against the wall
Like I was your little rag doll
As my limp body was dragged down the hall
Wounds split wide open when I hit the door
Blood smeared across the floor
I just want to forget
The time you said you loved me
Then punched me in the throat
As I gasped for air that was not there
Thinking the one who hurt me
Was the only one who cared
I just want to forget
All the times you threatened
To take my life from me
Then pleaded for mercy saying you were sorry
I just want to forget
The time you said you loved me
As you threw me into the mirror
Witnessing the glass shatter all around
Hearing you laugh as I cried out loud
When the shards of glass cut my face and arms
You vowed to protect me from harm
I just want to forget
The time you said you loved me
As you kicked me down the stairs
Immediately resulting in my first miscarriage
Every scar on my body
Tells a different story
Of how much I loved you
The love that betrayed me
I just want to forget
All the times you ever said you loved me
