Everie Lastly (Kiana Hobbs Period 5)
For four years I was beaten,
For four years I've been abused
For four years I've been neglected
And for four years I stayed.
The love we shared was everlasting
And it still is
His heart beat would hit me,
like a fist, swinging at the wind,
whenever I was around
Our love was special
Although no one would agree
My friend April Waters would always tell me
I could do better
But what's better than perfection?
We would fight like a married couple,
Although sometimes he would beat me.
But it wasn't his fault
I was the one who provoked him,
And teased him, and pushed him to his limits
It was my fault that he grabbed that knife on that Saturday morning
That he stuck that knife straight through my heart
If only I had been more obedient,
A better listener,
A better girlfriend,
I would not be lying six feet under
But our love was everlasting
And it still is
