[Untitled]

Help with the title would be greatly appreciated.

There’s a hole in my heart

The size of your fist.

It matches the bruises

That cover my body.

Don’t worry I will never tell.

We were happy in the beginning.

Do you remember? I do.

That first time, you told me

Never again, you loved me.

But you did it again and again.

Whisky fuelled rages directed at me.

When the storm had calmed,

And you realised what you had done.

You would plead and beg.

“Don’t leave me, I’m sorry,

It will never happen again.”

I was a fool to believe you,

But I loved you.

I would never have left you.

Till death do us part,

Those vows were sacred to me.

I guess you grew tired of me.

Maybe it was an accident.

Doesn’t matter, I forgive you.

I felt my body die,

I was happy when it did.

When I felt my heart beat

It’s final beat,

All the pain went away.

I saw you wrap me in plastic,

Dump me in the trunk,

Take me to the lake.

Your hands shook, you kept drinking.

I reached out to you, but I couldn't touch you.

Together, we watched as my body sank.

But you didn’t shed a tear.

I have already forgiven you,

Don’t worry, I will never tell.

This poem has such a story to tell. It leaves me wanting to know so much more about the people involved and has me curious about so many things. It's an interesting piece and well written. Fantastic job! :D
