Battered Wife

My name is **** & I’m a battered wife,
I’ve taken beatings all my married life,
I can still remember the very first time,
He punched me so hard & made my eye shine.
I believed that he was truly sorry,
By his tears & the way he would worry,
Until the next time came around,
The breaking of my jaw was an awful sound.
And again he’d plead me not to leave,
He told me he loved me & how he’d grieve,
If I left him & walked out,
I should have listened to my nagging doubt.
But he promised & I still loved him,
Even though my future looked so grim,
I couldn’t leave I was so scared,
I just had to picture the way he stared.
I stood up to him one night,
When he came home spoiling for a fight,
But if I knew how far he would go,
I would have protected myself from the blow.
I ended up in a hospital bed,
34 stitches in my head,
He’d hit me so hard he’d fractured my skull,
Used all his might, like an angry bull.
This time the flowers didn’t work,
He’d put me through too much hurt,
I knew that I had to report his crime,
Before he kills me the very next time.

this is really good. one of the sadder things that i have read in a while. the way u put everything together was really great, but whoever this is about, she shoulda turned him in the first time he hit her, i know that's obvious, but i said it anyways. and if u know her tell her that i'm sorry that that affle thing has happened to here.
if u ever need to talk i'm here for u.

Wow...
this left me breathless, and it is a subject very close to home as my mother was beaten by her first husband and lost her first child due to his beatings.
I cannot understand wife beaters, they are some of the worst people in the world.
This is a great write and im glad the person in the poem was strong and stood up and did something.
It is amazing how many people never do anything at all out of fear.
I cannot say how great this poem is.

| I Know that writing anything on a topic like this is very difficult, even if you are not the victim. If you are, it sounds like you got out of that situation. I admire your courage. I really enjoyed the simple reality of this poem. |
