Regrets over a Kept Secret...

No one ever knew how you made me feel
I thought that if I said it out loud, it would make it all more real
The hurtful remarks and the slaps here and there
Are all the things that I could never publicly bear

The silent fights when no one was looking
When you burned me on the stove, when I happened to be cooking
The emotional torture that I had to live through
And the simple sad fact that no one else knew

The names you called me under your breath
Thinking that no one would hear while I silently wept
While I thought that you would smother me whilst I slept
Added to the misery while I constantly wished that this was a secret that I had not kept

I pray that you and your angry fists will disappear
And loved ones and protection for me will always be near
I love so much, I won’t lie
But I hate you enough to want you to die.
