ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

My Hope 16

HOPE's POV

I am so relieved that Kit is coming to get me.

Nik snatches the phone from my hand,

He says,

"Who was it? Where you complaining doll?

It was a mistake. I am so sorry.

I love you baby."

Yes! a week of bashing,

Dragging me around forcefully,

Like I am, some toy,

Kicking my guts enough,

For the countless pukes

Of undigested scarce food 

And love I felt for him.

And all of this was a mistake.

Not the weak me now, 

But the strong lil girl inside,

Stared at him and said,

"Yes! It was a mistake,

I am leaving.

I loved you,

But you hurt me.

I loved just the man,

I thought you were.

But from every painful part of my body,

I hate who you actually are."

Nik looked into my eyes with fire from his eyes of fury.

He then said,

"Sweetheart! You ain't going anywhere.

You are mine."

My skull hit hard with some rod, I suppose

All I understood was metal clinking and breaking things in my skull.

The pain reverberated through echoes,

In my sullen grey matter.

I couldn't understand a thing but a

Taste of blood and pain compounding,

Blurs and hazes with voices of my pasts.

And when,

My lights began to dim,

I saw him back,

He couldn't believe,

What he had done.

And was pleading me,

Not to die.

My hope is ending in a day or two. I hope you guys liked this poetic series. :)
