Untitled...A domestic violence piece

Here you are once again



on bended knee



flowers in your hand



pouting like a little puppy dog



your eyes ...filled with total sorrow



"I promise this was the last time" you said



"It will never happen again"



and let's now forget the most important line



"I love you so Much!"







But where was the love



when you voice was raised



high enough to violate my ears



"Go Fuck yourself!!"...



are the words that echoed through my head.







Where was the love



when you urged me to leave



saying "Take your shit And GO!"



Throwing things at me...



my things...our baby's things.



I'm sure you were just helping me



move at the faster pace you desired...







Where was the love



when you had me cornered



in the very room we once shared



our passion...our kisses.



Now, I lay helplessly crying



"please stop" I say



"I'm so sorry for upsetting you"



still unsure of what it was I did wrong...







Was it love you showed



when you marked my beauty



with your bare hands...



My once soft and delicate skin



now painted with black and blue bruises.



My luscious full lips,



now filled with the bloody essence of "our LOVE"



Swollen...with every passionate



swing you graciously placed



with your fists.







And this is the love I need in my life...



This is the love I yearn



to recieve from a man



I know love hurts,



but must I feel this much PAIN



Why must you always show me



just how much



you "LOVE" me...
