Array ( [sid] => 162812 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Abusive Love [time] => 2010-10-18 16:25:44 [hometext] => I wrote this because i just broke up with my abusive boyfriend, and these are my thoughts before, during and now after the relationship. [bodytext] => Happy, confident, strong was what I tried to be
Insecure, lonely and hurting was the real me
Put on the brave face everyday
Secretly hoping somebody would whisk me away
When I least expected is when he came
Finally someone to erase my pain
For once felt loved, beautiful and cherished
Thought in my heart our love would never perish
So giddy and happy couldn’t frown if I tried
He assured me one day I would be his bride
As time went on his shine slowly faded
As I sat blind and increasing jaded
Begged him to stop or I would leave
Said he would kill himself, and the blame would be on me
Control, jealously and anger became the norm
Should have known to walk before the storm
He promised to change and become a new person
“Change” lasted a day and then would it would worsen
Pushing, grabbing and bruises I tried to forget
Loved him too much and ignored the threat
Then came the day the final line was crossed
Police cars came blazing and I became lost
I broke it off thinking I’d feel strong
As time goes on I’ve discovered I was wrong
I’m broken, sad and falling apart
Because whether I like it or not I gave him my heart
I try to move on and forget everyday
Nothing I do helps, the pain just stays.

This so deep
I hope that you can recover and move on
from
all that emotional torture.

A relationship,however imperfect, still seems to mean so much.
We invest time in it, nurture it and hope it will grow.
When it wilts and dies it hurts all the same and hope becomes another crushed flower under the shoe.
Good write
