Healing from You

 By Katelyn Hicks

-

Before I hated you I loved you. 
Your voice was one that would help me sleep. 
Your smiles and glances from across the room. Your hands that kept me safe at night. 


You bandaged my wounds when I got hurt. You were jokingly mad at me
when I picked at my scabs or acne
Told me I was your whole world. 


You were my everything Until you hurt me
broke me. 
My love for you caused this. 
I loved you too much 


I will never understand how you changed so quick
from your loving touches to hurtful ones
