Love and prayers like 341 times before

He puts his arm around me and tells me it'll be alright
He won't hurt me. He just wants to show me how much he loves me.
Like a worm, he crawls inside of me, my mind and body and lays there
Feeding off of me and
I let him.
This relationship was long dead.
It began when I first let him touch me.
I pushed my thoughts aside, because I didn't believe it would go this far
I let him pull my hair and threaten to drive the air out of my lungs
I let him lay there just as you had, 341 times before.
I came back to you, a broken woman
You caressed my curves and kissed him out of my mouth
It was cleansing I needed and
So I scrubbed myself till my scabs began to bleed.
I would often liken your touch to his until I remembered the coarse grains of chauvinism that tainted his fingers while yours spilled love and prayers
My heart has had enough now.
I am no longer in the middle
No longer torn apart.
