Tainted Beyond Repair


He's never raised his hand against her
Never left a mark upon her skin
Or ever bruised her body
Just a different kind of abuse when

He cusses her out
Accusing her of things not true
He quietly steams
Then bursts into screams
Breaking her fragile heart in two
Tainting her beyond repair

He's never broken bones
But the pain is just as real
As she cries herself to sleep at night
Trying not to feel

Waking in the morning
With a heavy heart
Never ready to face the day
Asked if she's alright
Never quite sure what to say
Because she's tainted beyond Repair

She tries her best not to make him angry
But sometimes the best of efforts fail
Defending only makes it worse
So passively she goes through hell

She almost laughs
When she remembers
All the times he has said he'd never make her cry
And she can't but help to wonder why
He does it anyway
Tainting her beyond repair

What kind of love hurts more than it helps
What king of future does it hold
He's left her without hope
He knows her hearts already sold

Neither one can let go
though they have very little left
And she tries to salvage what she can
while she wonders if its in vain
Knowing she's tainted beyond repair

Excuses and reasons
She makes herself believe them
Pretending she's as naive as everyone likes to think
Lies Hurt
For once truth hurts even worse
And he knows that she's not gonna do a thing

She was born to be a doormat
She's been walked over all her life
Somehow she believes she deserves it
Convinced its all her fault

She's always been told
That she could have the world
But she knows that it's a lie
Less than your ordinary girl
Because she's tainted beyond repair

Because you can't repair a tainted heart
That's been destroyed, it's every part
It's broken
Never to fully love again

What feelings she still has
Are only memories that once were real
Of a love so strong
Nothing could tear it down
She dreams it that way now
Forever Tainted beyond repair.

    i'm guessing this one is about you.
    i really felt this one. good job. i've been through that experience before where because of words and just the way he looks at you and treats you as if you were nothing, you seem as if you are nothing. it's hard as hell and most of the time seems like hell. i know. but you are better than what he tells you you are. guys like that are just stupid and hateful. and no one deserves that no matter who they are. anyways sorry for the long comment. the poem just brought up a lot of memories. good luck to you and i hope to read some more of your poems.
