"Love"

The hands he “hugs” me with
Pound me hard into the floor.
The lips he “kisses” me with
Spit venom as he says “adore.”

The face he “smiles” with
Now boils red and explodes.
The feet he “drives” me with
Now steal my breath as I implode.

The heart he “loves” me with
Beats loud against my ear.
The arm he “prods” me with
Constricts my head so that I can’t hear
The nasty things he swears at me
-the iron cast ball of lies-
I sing within my death’s embrace
The song of his demise.

    this was really good..i liked how you like contradicted what he does with how he acts later..but i think my fav lines were
    the iron cast ball of lies-
    I sing within my death’s embrace
    The song of his demise.

    You have written a very good description of someone caught in the cycle of abuse. He hurts me, but, I love him. I hate him, but, I love him. Good job. So sad, get away a soon as you can. Very emotional, as I felt the pain in this poem.

    wow this is an amazing write. I can feel the pure emotion running through through the words. I especially love the way you describe that one thing that can make you feel loved can also detroy you 'The hands he “hugs” me with
    Pound me hard into the floor.
    The lips he “kisses” me with
    Spit venom as he says “adore.”

    LOve the ending aswell, very powerful,
    thanks for entering and goodluck

    this is a confusing poem but i think that is best, i mean as you read it you feel a lot of different things and i think that in some way that is what makes this poem so real, keep it flowing
