The fallen

Sitting in class I see the teacher staring,

Staring at the ugly mark that covers my face,

I see his questioning look as I struggle to keep my mask in place

The bell for the end of school rings as I hide the limp from the piercing gazes of my classmates

My tormentor

My love

My fallen angel

I quietly open the door to the place I used to call home

I feel my hopes rise as I see it empty

Only to feel his warm breath on my neck

My tormentor

My love

My fallen angel

I feel your fist connect with my stomach as you whisper in my ear

Welcome home hikari

As I fall to the ground you hit harder calling me worthless, pathetic

A weakling unworthy of any notice

These words hurt me more than your fists ever could

My tormentor

My love

My fallen angel

You leave me broken and bleeding on the floor

But I know that in time these wounds will heal

As I clean up my bloodied body I curse myself for ever falling in love

With you of all people

My tormentor

My love

My fallen angel

Yet whenever you beat me I cannot stop myself from forgiving you

In my mind I tell myself you are just misunderstood

That this is your way of dealing

My tormentor

My love

My fallen angel

I scream, shouting at myself mentally

Why? Why do you despise and torture me

I slump to the ground defeated, when I see something

A razor! I pick it up as if it's the most precious thing in the world

My tormentor

My love

My fallen angel

I stare at it until I carefully bring it down to my wrist

Softly pressing it against my pale skin

I gasp as I slowly bring it across the skin

The biting metal slicing through as blood pours down my arm

My tormentor

My love

My fallen angel

I laugh bitterly as I tell him

Look what you've brought me to

As I slice through my other arm but I know this won't kill me

Why should I kill myself when I'm already dead inside

I gaze down thinking this is the only thing that will know my true feelings

My pain

My sorrow

My inner torment

My salvation

A/N I typed this at about 1am so sorry if this is just rubbish and this is the first poem I've ever written. Thanks for reading and all reviews would be accepted even if you just tell me that my writing is crap.
