    Matt! This is brilliant! I used to work in a women's refuge and saw some pretty shocking things. For many women (and men) the mental abuse is as bad as the physical and their resolve is all but erased by the perpetrators.
    You're right, real and good men don't ever do this. An amazing poem. Really well done! :-) x

      Thank you so much.
      I tried to touch on the emotional/verbal (mental) abuse in this, but the overtones I see now are predominantly physical. Please know that I intended for every aspect to be included.

    Oh Matt you did cover it all, really :-) I think I was just trying to make the point that because of the mental abuse too, it makes it that much harder for the victim to actually leave. You nailed it! :-) x

    A wonderful piece that comes with a sad statement, but you ended this piece on a positive note.
