[hometext] => Here we go back to this. . .
[bodytext] => Here we go again tonight you broke your promise again,
Tonight you came stumbling in more than a bit intoxicated,
Didn't take much did it; just a simple "honey where have you been?"
Then bam! I flew half way across the room,
Before you I stood on trembling legs,
The look in your eyes; one of pure rage told me it was useless to beg,
So I stood there taking everything you had to give,
Not once did I raise my chin in defiance to your fist,
Not once did I cower from your blows,
Not a sound did I make,
Not when your fist met my face,
Not a whimper nor a whine escaped my lips,
Not while I was on sprawled on the floor at the mercy of your kicks,
Never once have I voiced my thoughts or shown your my pain,
When it was over you fled as you always have,
Leaving me there on the floor to "think about what you've done",
I laid there thinking about everything,
About this life we share,
The son we raise,
Our wedding day,
The night you proposed; the look in your eyes, the smile on your face,
Then I thought about all the times I've defended you,
Even to your own family,
Silly me,
But I'm in love; what else can I do?
Now I think about the first time, and how there really is a first time for everything,
You left me black and blue,
Seemed the more I cried out the harder the hits were,
When you were finished; that was it you were gone,
Remember how you came home the next day, and even you cried with me,
Explaining it was just stress, you have alot on your plate,
You said then like every time since "baby, I love you. . . I promise, it won't happen again",
And now I think about now,
It's been a while, maybe I deserved it?
I wish you'd tell me; I don't care about the when or the where; just tell me how,
What was it I did,
Was your dinner too cold?
Is the house in shambles?
Was work too stressful today?
Is having a wife and son too much to handle?
Did I forget to tivo your favorite show?
Is there a reason, or maybe it just feels good to hit?
All these questions the lead to only one answer,
Baby we need help

This poem saddens me and concerns me as well. If a husband is willing to hit his wife then one day he may turn his anger on your son. May God watch over you and protect you from further harm.

Excuse me for being blunt but it's the only way I know.
The only excuse a man would ever have for hitting you would be if u was gonna put a knife in him then he'd have the right to maybe kick it out of your hand.
You are responible for your child 'cause it's obvious his dad isn't being resposible for himself. People don't own people and it's against the law for him to raise a hand to u.
You need to take your child and run.
O.J Simpson is a great example of what abuse leds to. Nicole told folks that he would kill her and get away with it. Do you want your hild to end up without a mother? Think about it. You need to find the courage to say not no but hell no! He want do this to me. He's the one with the problem and he needs help big time. Again forgive me for myt bluntmess.
I care and that's why I let it spill out.
I got hit in the mouth once and had to have stitches and even lied too the dr on how it happened. The next time he threatened to hit me after we were divorced. I told him he best take another look at who he was talking to 'cause he put my tooth through my lip once and I told him if he touched me again he best kill me 'cause if he ever put his hands on me again that I'd hunt him down like a dog and kill him. He backed down but that time he was sober. Had he been drunk I'd of had to kill him to get him off me.
Neither of us knew at the time that our son was in the breeze way with a club. He was comming in after him but his best friend talked him out of it.
I raised my three children alone. Now his oldest son from amarraige after me takes care of him. My son wants nothing to do with him and his dad just don't understand why+-
Sorry didn't mean to preach a sermon but your poem just ripped open a stream in my brain.
Very well written. You have alot of talent and it would be a shame to cheat the world out of such good writer.
luv, huggs, prayers,

One thing I want to say above all else.......You do not deserve it !!!.Nobody deserves an abuse partner.Sure, we can all put it down to stress or things not going right in our lives, but at the end of the day taking out your anger on someone else will never solve anything.
You talk of love, it saddens me that so many people put up with situations like this because of "love".Isn't love supposed to be a wonderful thing ?
