He drove me to your arms;
his abusive words made
your kindness so appealing.
Hold me gently as tears flow
in efforts to release
myself from his grip.
I hope you are able to
erase him from my mind
with the touch of your hand.
I want you to claw him
out of my skin
like a scabbed wound.
Kiss me so passionately
that his lips are
but a distant memory.
Maybe your love can
make me forget that
I was hurt so deeply.
