Untitled (but for the abuser)

by Good Enough   Jun 25, 2009


I've grown a thousand pain for you
And bled a beating heart
But as I took your beatings
I knew it wasn't the start

A hero, you stood before me
Before you threatened me with the knife
You were a knight in shining armor
The God that gave me life!

I stood before the master
Or thats the name you were called
I stood there broken and beaten
And you looked as if you were appalled

You called me fat and ugly
And beat me a couple times
I was weak and shattered like broken glass
I'm sorry I didn't report you for your crimes

You said it was for love
To make sure that I would stay
But all I wanted to do
Is get up and run away

The glitter in my eyes
Began to fade away
Your beatings became useless
But you did it all day

You threatened to kill my family once
And tell them I was raped
My heart couldn't pound another beat
All I needed was an escape

The thought of suicide became more frequent
with the blade across my skin
I bled your horrible name
But that was to begin

Not enough blood was shed for you,
For you to stand apart
Of the hell you were doing to me
You were breaking my little heart

Your words became more violent
My phone was off the hook
The blade kept getting deeper
As I bled along the brook

My body became so numb
Your words sounded like whispers
I soon found my escape door
That left my body in shivers

I as sent away
To a far away land
Where you couldn't find me
Or your access would be banned

I finally felt free,
Free from your grasp
It was the greatest feeling ever
If not seeing your ass

Some days I just get so scared
That I'll run into on the street
So I'll just keep praying
That we never meet

(AGAIN)

    This poem is quite long but you have alot to say and its said well gud i must admit. the topic is touching and i like your story. i do HATE the abusive types. word of advise though if ya in that situation again BEAT the CRAP out of him. if ya can't do that poison him lolz if ya do it well enough he wont hit you ever again lolz. but the best solution was in any case Leave him.

    Hey again im so sorry to hear about your pains you deal with. It must be really hard for you to deal with things like this. I hope that you actually do get up and walk away from him and not escape with a blade to your skin.

    *Wow...this stanza blew me away. I love the diction here and the imagery is great.*

    The glitter in my eyes
    Began to fade away
    Your beatings became useless
    But you did it all day

    *I would change the last line to everyday*

    Other than that I think you did a wonderful job. I hope this isn't true, cause it was so sad. But it also made me angry. Anways I loved how each stanza adds on more to the story. Very nice work hun. Nik
