He and I became so close, I was truely in love,
He seemed to have the energy of ten men,
I knew that I would have to stride to keep up,
His kiss was so wonderful and he held me tight.
Nights were long as he said he worked late,
I being so tired of a full day at work,
He would come home with more energy,
Not wanting dinner, but to dance.
He wouldn't sleep and wouldn't let me,
Draging me like a rag doll telling me lies,
I knew something was wrong just what?
He told me I was no fun that I needed something,
I said what? take this little pill and you be smiling,
I said no, I do not do drugs, now I knew what he does.
I started looking threw his things to find his drugs,
flushing them down the toilet, gone they are.
I went back to bed, as it was very late,
He sat there until dawn I heard him yell where are they,
I didn't answer him and covered my head,
he come and threw me out of my bed,
throwing my entire bed out the back door,
no sleep shall you have no more.
I began to pack my things in boxes,
Ive had It, want no more of you.
he begin to beat me screaming for the pills
I called 911 for help, the police took him away.
peace at last.

A very disturbing poem/story. A great way to tell a sad story that way too many could tell. Good form and flow that makes it easier to read through. Sure hope it is not about you!
