I hate everything
about you, why do
I love you?
These painful bruises
upon my skin the ones
you put there to
teach me a lesson
You raise up your fist
and I wince in pain
before you ever lay
down your hand on me
You smile coldly and
I know that's what you
feed off of, the look
of pain in these
pale green eye
To you I'm nothing
but a huge disgrace
I hate everything
about you, why do
I love you?
The day we were married
you changed into this
monster that I never
knew you could be
I try to get up and
run but you force
me back down
You hit me that much
harder when I try
to break free
I want to leave but
after everything you've
done, you still mean
the world to me
I hate everything
about you, why do
I love you?

Abuse is a terrible thing, especially in marriage. I'm very sorry! You know what? I love this poem so much, I can relate very much so. Except the only difference is that I'm not dealing with abuse and I'm not married. Well anyways, the guy I "love" does everything I hate--yet I still love him. Maybe it's not everything he does, but most of it. Hope you know what I mean. You expressed your emotions greatly and the actions he does and still you love him.
I liked this a lot, good job!
