The scars are too many, they won't let me sleep
For in giving my love and my total devotion
My man put his mouth and his fists into motion

He blackened my eyes and blew out my lips
And when he was done, tried to ply me with gifts
To say he was sorry for what he had done
I was his love, his only one

The abuse, it was there, it was ever ready
The hate that he spewed from his mouth was rock steady
It chipped and it picked away at my soul
In place of my heart is a huge gaping hole

Until one day, here I lie spirit broken
The door to trust never again to be open
Six foot under is where I crave to be
Never again to trust or love, not me

I'm no longer with him, we split long ago
The memory's still there in a silent echo
The pain is up front, it will never recede
Never again to enjoy life, no, not me! [comments] => 8 [counter] => 300 [topic] => 13 [informant] => thumper [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 24 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Silent Echo

That sounds like a truly terrible thing to go through, and I'm sorry that you had to experience it. Glad to hear that you've gotten past the ordeal.
