Beaten and bruised,

You didn't deserve me.

I see that now...

now that I've been treated right.

It's turned me bitter

and hateful

knowing

that I should have run.

I hate myself for that.

But I love

the peace I've found

outside your arms.

I'm stronger now.

I'm not the ragdoll you once held

by the arm

so limp and fragile

for you to throw around,

take for granted,

forget.
