In dim light, I face my reflection

Empty, void of emotions, a hollow shell
Scars on my back pale in comparison
To the scars on my heart, where love once dwelled

My soul still shivers with terror
At the thought of his return, his menacing whisper
"I'll come back," he said, leaving me no choice
But to endure the hell he created, my voice silenced

Burnt marks on my skin reveal his contempt
A physical manifestation of his disdain
I never knew he'd go this far
But now I see, I was blind to the pain

I HATE MYSELF for letting it happen
YOU TOOK MY BODY, my autonomy, my everything
The pride I once had, now shattered beyond repair
I'm left laughing maniacally, with no escape

I curse my heart for thinking love could change him
My soul, once craving his affection, now in anguish
He was right, I'm to blame for my fate
For giving him all of me, my love, my trust, my everything
