His words,
He throws them at Her,
Like sharpened knives,
Aimed to kill.
The cuts he makes;
The blood he draws;
The scars he forms.
Sometimes She wishes She didn't
Know him.
Spare her,
Please?

Thank you! It was based on one person, but it also relates to other people, not just this one person. Let me know what you think of some of my other poems too, I'm going to be posting some more. I love feedback!!
