NO LONGER

Raven333

Where does my pain come from,

Down deep in my soul.

All this grief

And disappointment,

Grabs me hard

And refuses to let me go.

My first pain was in my heart,

It squeezed so hard

And ran so deep.

My eyes welled up,

And tears they flowed

The pain stayed there,

And made it a home.

My next big pain,

I was older then

I made him my husband,

And I thought he was a man.

The first time he hit me,

I was confused and crushed

I could not understand.

He hit me so hard,

The blood ran down

All over my chest,

My ears and my toes

He pulled my hair,

And would not let me go.

My heart shrank up,

It idled real slow.

The pain felt like lightening,

And hot burning coals.

And the thunder in my head,

The pain was so tight

I lost all control.

One day I woke up,

To sunshine peaking in.

My heart,

I felt brand new.

I could finally start to heal,

And recover

my new step in life.

I was free once again,

I was on the mend..

I was no longer,

His wife.

        Thanks so much, I guess that's why I like to write. it gets a lot of things out for me.

        I'm sorry for your pain and struggles, dear poet
        (it never ceases to amaze me
        how many, weak-willed
        partners, choose
        for their fists, to speak
        instead of expressing themselves
        in words
        when time's get tough, as-if
        violence
        is supposed to strangle, all
        life
        from witnessing the pathetic excuse
        of a human, they
        so evidently are...!)
        stay strong! sing loud and proud

          Some men seem to think exercising power and control over a woman is normal behaviour.
          To earn a woman's respect and trust is much more rewarding.

          • Raven333

            Yes I agree, unfortunately I have ran across many of these kind of men. I am very content in being by myself these days.

            Such powerful words Tammy, I just cannot understand why there is such aggression in marriage of relationships.
            So glad you have found a new life.
