It shows how powerful love is. [bodytext] => A knife to the wrist, a punch with a fist
It all means the same to me
They hurt and cause pain, and drive me insane
But none of them break me free

A slap to the face, the purest disgrace
Beatings day in and day out
A bruise from the floor, black eye from the door
So this is what my life’s about

Dragged from the hall, and pushed to the wall
And told if I move I'm dead
Physically abused, to keep him amused
Death would be better instead

30 long years and rivers of tears
A husband with no loving touch
Day after day, he treats me this way
But I still love him very much [comments] => 4 [counter] => 246 [topic] => 48 [informant] => dancingcatz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Whoever this poem is about you or someone else, don't you think there is something wrong with not only the guy but with a woman who can love someone who constantly abuses them. Both need some counseling. I was in an abusive relationship myself many moons ago. It didn't take long to realize, being beat and being belittled IS NOT LOVE. Thank goodness I did not stay because now I am with a wonderful man who actually loves me and doesn't treat me like his possession. Much peace to you.

You have a great way of writing. You are able to rhyme without compromising the content. Wow, I hope you are not allowing someone to hurt you like that. I also hope you do not have children that have seen it.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
