Here we go again
The ranting of an abused woman
Formerly, abused woman
A survivor who still remembers
Still revisits
As if it were yesterday
Daggers explore the inside of my head
Ripping the scabs off the wounds
My fuel soaked mind
Lights up with a flick of his tongue
His words continue my demise
It was only yesterday
Tears creviced my face
Leaving behind ruts of shame
It was only yesterday
I heard you say it again
It was only physical
The abuse
It was only physical
It could have been worse
It could have been mental
It could have been emotional
But, it was only physical
Ignorance displays its opinion
Without truth, without knowledge
Physical abuse is the end
Not the beginning
The end result of mental and emotional abuse
Is the impact of a fist
Never have compared the pain
They both bled the same
It knows no boundaries
The tongue strikes like a sword
Leaving behind
The carcass of the person
I used to be
To make an exclamation point
The tongue is a double edged sword
Cutting both ways while coming and going
Reducing its prey to nothing
Leaving behind an empty shell
Permanent scars, permanent bruising
With the impact of a fist
Putting me in my place
A strike of a foot
Kicking the life out of love
When the raging river of words come out
There is nothing left to say
Nothing left of me but skin
I will remember your words
It could have been worse
