Love Hurts!

I'm just going to preface this and say this work is fictional. When I read it in class people immediately thought I was writing about myself.

Enjoy! Mr. C didn't like it so I'm curious to know what your thoughts are...
*****************************************************************

You love me. You want to protect me and have a family with me. I am your world. When you look at me, you say your heart races. You love the soft, slightly husky sound of my voice and you tell me you feel safe when my arms are wrapped around you.


When you look at me, I look at your brow, jaw, nose and lips to tell me what kind of mood you’re in. I listen to the timbre and pitch of your voice for the sound of any discordant notes. When you put your arms around me, I am afraid.

You push me into furniture and walls, down stairs and through windows, draw blood and break bones. You encourage the lies to cover the bumps and bruises from those who could see the real you. You don’t love me. You want to possess me.
