Since, I dealt with an average dude like yourself
only because I was infatuated with the thought
of having someone there to take away the
insufficient planted in my veins
i really like the 1st verse specially the last line of it.
And I was eager to avoid becoming is and needed?
apart of the single black female statistics a part not apart
So, I swallowed your vulgar words and no comma after so, is and needed?
ignored your constant physical threats
Even though, it made my stomach empty
again another decent verse
All this because I didn't want to
go to bed and wake up alone
yet, deep down I was alone
not sure if the triolet is needed.
I began to feed into your lies
and your manipulated motives
which fucked me up in the head even more
misery loves company and we were both
enjoying each other
the last two lines are cliche and cheesy for me.
I became addicted and obsessed with false love
despite, my intuition told me something else no comma, telling not told
even when I tried to escape
it's like you trapped me to stay and deal is "it's like" needed?
with more months of pain
Now, I`m left with scar of memories no comma,scars or the scar
and offensive words that shouts in my head is and needed, shout
every other second and all i see is images
of your face - eating alive my soul no need for the -
piece by piece
IE.;
Now I`m left
with scars for memories
offensive words that shout in my head
all i see are images of your face
eating alive my soul
piece by piece
i did a little cut and chop but added nothing but "images"
Thanks for the read LB.

personally i think your poetry is improving
