The Memory I have

Your bitter words
loud as thunder
lighting strikes through
Sharp pain shots through
You broke me
Entirely I collapsed
On the floor You said
I knew You hated
Everyday was claiming
I had to fight
With last energy I had
You broke me
With your words
Your criticism were harsh
Even today I still listen
I have nothing to say
Won't fight you anymore
I know now and for ever
Leave me alone
Never fool me again
I won't allow you
Never break me again
It's the pain I will carry
Everyday and night
But I won't cry anymore
Maybe won't care again
It's the only memory
Only bitterness and hatred
The only memory I have
Only I have
