Abused

by Sylvia   Sep 4, 2008


You abused me as if my permission was granted
and I wanted you dead, then finally recanted.
For too long you treated me with hatred and contempt.
I tried to tell you, that's wrong, but failed in the attempt.

Tell me why did you abuse, will you ever reply?
I became your victim and that I cannot deny.
So many scars concealed from your prying eyes,
now they're exposed and there will be no more lies.

A few months have gone by and my healing has begun,
and I will be damned if I'll let you think that you won.
So full of arrogance and consumed by hate,
there was no one else to pay the price, except your mate.

The price was too high and I took the only way out.
My decision made, I had to get away, I have no doubt.
Now that I am gone, I ask myself who the next fool will be.
One thing I know; it won't be me because I am free.

    I can relate tot he words in this poem, and the situation described.

    I think it is very realistic as to how it feels to be abused, and then watch them as they get away with it. In your poem, you have shown us how it affects your mind, and happiness and how you feel there is never a way out. I think it shows the battle we face as survivors, that we want to move on, but sometimes also want to give up.

    I like the rhyming, because it reminds me of how I used to write.

    you raised a lot of questions typical to this situation too, like what they think, feel, will they ever reply, admit? Also, what happens when they stop hurting you? do they move on to someone else etc. All these are thoughts that remain long after the abuse is over.

    Very raw poem. I am glad I discovered it.
