[title] => It’s All My Fault !!

[hometext] => There's a hint of humour in this..well there would be if wife abuse wasn't such a serious problem. This is an attempt to look through the victims eyes.
May I point out that this poem was NOT written from any personal experiences. I have been married for 35 yrs and abhore any violence towards women [bodytext] => Aches so much and the bruises show, Fell downstairs again? The nurses won’t believe it this time But they never know the reason. It’s all my fault, you see, Instead of going shopping, I should have made him tea. It’s worse this time, I feel it more, I think my arm is broken. But I bring it on myself I know how much he loves me, And he doesn’t mean to cause me hurt But instead of cleaning up the house I should have ironed his shirt. The pressure he has to take at work Must weigh so heavily on his shoulders; I should try and stop the baby crying, He needs the rest and silence. It’s all my fault I know, so far Instead of changing baby John I should have cleaned his car. I know I shouldn’t have screamed so loud When his fist thumped my face, What if the neighbours had heard? They know he’s so gentle and kind. It’s all my fault – just like he said But if I take one more beating I’m sure I’ll end up dead. ©Rosewing [comments] => 2 [counter] => 339 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Rosewing [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
