All that you did to me
broke my heart in two,
you would even touch me
when I didn't want you to.
You made me feel dirty
when you hurt me in bad ways,
I wanted to get away
from the pains I felt for days.
I would hide and bleed
with swollen eyes of blue,
I cried for several hours
after I was hurt by you.
What could I have done
to free me from your hold?
I thought that I loved you
but my feelings had grown cold.
I felt trapped in a relationship
where abuse had its place,
I was an emotional wreck
and our love was a disgrace.
You hit me many times
leaving bruises instead of love
I wanted you to go away
and stop the push and shove.
Marriage was a big mistake
and maybe I was blind,
I didn't notice the signs
that I could have left behind.
Author notes
"Once used and abused"
This poem is true. I went through bad sexual experiences when I was married. I got away from him and I have healed to an extent. I may never feel safe around men again.
