WHAT YOU THINKING?
you thought I was down for the count!
so sure you crushed my very soul weren't you!
I laugh when I think of the times you hit me!
your insecurity serves only to entertain me!
the courage it must take to hit those you love???
blackened eyes, days off work!
brusies about, hiding from the world!
blood to clean up before the children rise!
you thought I would rot there forever?
did you think the mental abuse crippled me?
I love you baby .......SMACK!
I cant live without you.....KICK!
I had a problem you said, I remember and, snicker!
you thought I was too scared to leave, I laugh outloud!
somehow you thought a house made a home, I giggle!
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
you get a perm and buy tight jeans, I was hysterical!
sent flowers but can't spell my name, I laughed till I cried!
promises of love so grand to woe me home!
threats replace promises, falling on my deaf ears!
I see you from time to time but nothings changed!
you stick your chest out and walk proud!
telling the world what a bitch I was!
but who are your hands hitting now??
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
Jo-anne, I got goosebumps all over me - yes, AND anger! Anger that a mate can hit a loveone, thinking they can heal the wounds of the heart afterwards with flowers!! Such a sad-sad poem... A must to read - and if only the men (and women) that hit their mates can read this. Keep safe Donkerman
