Poetry: Love Hurts

Journal Entry: Love Hurts

My heart beats like a drum
Yes, I tried, but I can’t run
Cuz I got caught in his trap
Oh, yes he wants me back
But it’s enough of him, I had
I was the one he grabbed
If I had the chance to rewind time back again 
I would never chose him to be my man
Cuz now he won’t leave me alone
I got over 100 messages on my cell phone
Repeating myself again
Cuz I keep telling him we should just be friends
Now I wonder
Will I be stuck here like this to the end?
Now he gots the nerve to call me honey
And spending all his money (on me)
Did he forget he bust my lip
But he made a promise that he wouldn’t do it again
So here I am thinking about my future
And the only thing I see is him beating me all over again
Now tell me would this love nightmare end
It’s like him stabbing me in my heart all over again
Crying as the blood rushes from my heart
I knew I should have left him when he first abused me from the start  
Now here hurting in pain
Wishing this thing I feel will go away
I blacked out and these people take me away
Now I ask God will I see another day
Your Friend,
Maya
