Under Your Mask

You chased me down, I felt special,
Made you sweat, made you prove yourself.
You didn’t give up, I felt wanted,
I made you show you had eyes for just me.
You wooed me, you whispered to me, I felt needed,
Then I gave in, you had proven yourself worthy.

You enjoyed my smile, you liked my scent, I felt lovely,
I flashed that smile just for you, like our little secret.
You worshipped my body, loved those curved, man I felt beautiful,
Wore the right clothes, flaunted my curves.
You were the one, the song in my heart.
A smile, a laugh, true love I thought.

Today you speak so loud, you look so mad, I feel guilty.
I apologize not knowing for what.
You grab so roughly, you take without asking, I feel so used.
Still I make myself look good for you.
You curse, you spit, you push, I feel unwanted,
But I don’t walk away, though you’re proving yourself unworthy

  1. A powerful REAL poem. I prefer poetry that is reality based that I can really FEEL, as I can this one!

  2. This is a beautifully written poem, how tragic it is that you can write it, though. It tells a familiar story.

    Ugh. I can relate to these two lines, especially.
