A Battered Lovers Lament

Summary:

I've been really depressed the last few days and because of that this poem came to me. I write this as someone who has seen this happen, both to men and women. Sorry for the dark aspect of it.

A Battered Lovers Lament
By CaliaDragon

 

Burned though I am
My soul weeps for you
Burned though I am
My heart beats for you

I am a fool, battered and bruised
I am a fool, bloodied and used

I cry tears of shame
Even as I cry your name
I cover a body used
Even as I open for you

I am a fool, battered and bruised
I am a fool, bloodied and used

My mother weeps for me
My father curses your name
My body yearns for you
Despite my shame

I am a fool, battered and bruised
I am a fool, bloodied and used

My mind screams to run from you
My body and heart beg for you

I am lost and confused
I am battered and bruised
