Abuse

A Poem From the Point of View of a Victim of Domestic Abuse...

My night's now lonely and cold

Just myself, an empty heart and scars from memories untold

That weigh me down with such sadness and no hope,

I think of you

Want you

Long for you... though you're wrong for me... deep down it's true

It just didn't work, didn't fit together... me and you

Torn down to near nothing, a being whose broken pieces cannot be healed

A being who only hears lies, sees demons, and true happiness she cannot feel

This is what you did, this was the love you gave me

The love that blinded and destroyed me

What I thought was love... but was only poison I now see

Even without you here, how scared I am, to speak... to even breathe

You killed me, took my soul and just left me with this unrecognizable person, so empty

But even with all this understanding of the truth, the recognising of the reality... It is you I still need

Your touch my body aches for, your control my mind is lost without, what is left of me, without you, is weak

Still owned by the monster that is you, though your presence is not near

Life for you continues, happy and without a care

Whilst I sit here... alone... still living the nightmare

Come back to me, just so that I can feel once again

Even if those feelings are not really love. But just hurt and pain...

Anything is better than feeling nothing, feeling lost without you, knowing you don't feel the same

My friends will call me crazy and my family will hate me

If I was to try rekindle what we had, a flame so dangerous, I once could not see

Being with you was killing me, but I'm now dead since you decided to leave

You're toxic, you're wrong for me... but you are what I need...
