You beat me black and blue, it's true
But I can't deny I still love you
The bruises fade, the hurt just grows
Why I stay?...God only knows
You control me and all that I am
Our life together is such a sham
I try my best to make you happy
But you're just snap snap snappy
If I dare to question your moods
You retaliate by giving me a bruise
Why just the other day
A guy happened to look my way
You said I was staring at him
When I got home, I had a battering
I wanted out, I grabbed my coat
You pinned me down, squeezing my throat
I'm looking deep into your wild eyes
"Why are you doing this?" through pleaded cries
I would lay down my life for you
But you just beat me black and blue
How did you like this story?

Writing has been my friend since a teenager...I laugh, cry, think, pretend, smile as I do it. I feel that I communicate better through my writing as in person I can appear a tad scatty.

Hurt Not Love.
You punched me, With a fist. It's better than, Being kissed. My hair you, Sharply tugged. It's an improvement on, Being hugged. On my small foot, You always stand. I'd prefer it to, Holding my hand.

You
You push her. She embraces you. You beat her. She cuddles you. You smother her. She let's you be free. You belittle her. She bigs you up.

@smellyfingers @leelee101 ...it's happening out there all the time though...and it is sad but it's happening on a daily basis to some women and indeed men xxx
@RichWithey this poem was from a personal experience many many years ago...got rid of the toe rag in question...took a long time tho...thanks for the sweet comment:):)
Maybe it's just me, but I always assume guys who beat women are secretly gay, and blame women for not being sexy enough to chase the gay fantasies out of their heads. Glad you are well past that noise.
@VikingHorn who knows the reasons why people choose to hit their loved ones...my own personal experience was that he had grown up seeing his mum beaten and thought it normal and acceptable to do when he was a so called man, he was very immature and had a lot of issues that he chose to ignore so lashing out became a way of life for him....I am just so happy I had the strength to get rid....I always said to him THANKYOU , for you have made me what I am today, I know what I want and what I deserve, and won't settle for 2nd best...it made me strong....whereas he has nothing now!
@littlemiss Yes, I'm sure my ire is simplistic and flawed, but I am truly thrilled that you have recovered as well as you have, and I hope your strength can be a model and inspiration for the rest of us. :)
@VikingHorn thanks for the lovely comment...life is good now...but as I said before it took a looooong time to recover from that relationship. He stripped away everything I was but I had to as I had a son with him, that gave me the strength to get out and never look back!
@littlemiss Yes, children come first, even before our own lives, and good for you. But if you don't mind me asking, what made him appealing in the first place?
@VikingHorn he was a real charmer and I was young and impressionable...I fell for him quickly....but little did I know he was slowly grinding me down...once I got pregnant that was when he began to hit...I suppose because I couldn't risk fighting back because of the baby...he was actually jealous of his own unborn child....I'd like to say he was a good dad though...but he wasn't ...my son didn't see him from 5....then when he reached 18 he decided to see his dad....he was disappointed...he now only sees him once or twice now!
