Love Poem: Faced

Faced

My face is bleeding
My heart is aching
My child is crying
And I keep on lying to my mother

Your hands never get tired of hitting 
on me
bruising my skin
Rearranging my face

You say you love me
you say you care for me
You say you're sorry
You say you're tired of me

Though you never leave
You disrespect me
You beat me to a pulp
you hate me

Today I'm done with you
please move out my way
My bags are already packed
My mother and a police 
officer are right behind that door

So I wish you would try something
I wish you would hit me again
because trust you will get yours 
whether I'm dead or alive

You stared at me
like you were pondering your 
options 
You backed up
I left.
