Darling Please Save Me.. Poem by Mallory Piña Villa

I had a dream
It scared me
I screamed
But you didn’t help me
I asked for pity
But you didn’t budge
I asked for attention
But you didn’t acknowledge me
I bleed
But you didn’t cure me
I screamed for help
But you didn’t save me…
Darling save me I said
But you laughed and hit me
I asked why
But you hit me I again
I screamed for pity
But then you kissed me
I slapped you
But then you hit me
How come my nights be so painful?
Darling please save.
The twilight scares me.
I hate the god who makes day, night.
I hate the moon when it reaches for the sky.
Darling please kill me
It hurts to much
Darling please take my life
It’s yours to do as you please
I don’t want it
Darling please don’t hit me
Darling please kill me
It hurts enough already
Darling don’t laugh
It scares me
Darling please wake me up
I love you
You laughed
I love you
You kicked me
I love you
You slapped me
I love you
You killed me...
