The "I love you" he
breathed down her neck
Sounded so obscene and vulgar that she
shivered
In fear of the monster he had become
Once, he tasted of
beauty and a vibrant life
But now his kisses were tainted with
poison
And she longed for the days without fear
He used to hold her
close in arms so tender
But now his caresses left bruises and his
smiles
Froze her blood instead of warming her heart
She could rip her skin
to shreds to try to banish
The feel of his hands against her so
breakable body
But it never helped- he was always there
Bloodied lips brushed
her skin and burned deeply into her soul
Killing off yet another
piece of her innocent sanity
And washing away the sweetness of
her naivety forever
