She: I don’t feel well

He: Are you in pain?

She: I don’t know anymore, what is pain? What defines pain? The fact that I am bruised or is it the tears cascading down my face, or could it be the dried blood on the pillow where I cried all night?

He: But I love you!

She: When did you love me? Before the slap, before you grabbed my arm, before you kicked me or was it when you busted my lip?

He: Silence

She: But I love you or at least I tried to show you I did. But now I don’t know. I’m confused by my bruises.

He: You did this, you should have answered me, wore a better dress, combed your hair the way I said, stop speaking to those friends of yours!

She: I have given you everything I have, even my self-respect. I have nothing more to give and still it’s not enough to keep you from beating and berating me..

He: But I love you!

She: When did love look like this?

He: So you gonna leave like the rest?

She: Naw, the others “left” in a body bag..Me, I’m leaving on my own strength..

He: But I love you!’

She: Yeah, I know..
