Love is a Decoy

Let life die
Be the first to let go

The abuse felt
Never leaving body or mind

No one knows
The hurt behind closed doors

Nothing said
He uses everything against you

On your body
The bruises he gave are permanent

His love
That feeling only a decoy

When I get upset I write about things that are worse than what I am going through.
