BATTERED WIFE

This is from a thought of a battered wife. I want to be her voice.

I do

You do?

Do you really do?

I doubt its true

But still I believe in you

You punch me in the face

The ring you just misplace

No love in your embrace

Release me I need space

I do

You do?

Do you really do?

I doubt its true

But still I believe in you

You are alcoholic

Your stares are demonic

Your love has no logic

You are so psychotic

I do

You do?

Do you really do?

I doubt its true

But still I believe in you

You forced me to have sex

You don't give a respect

D*mn! all of these effects

Now all my soul objects

I do

You do?

Do you really do?

I doubt its true

But still I believe in you

Author's Note

This is a thought of a battered wife. I want everyone to see the unending cycle of why some women even if being physically abused by their husband, they still stay. There is already a psychological dependency happening in here. Sad reality.

Battered Woman Syndrome is so screwed up. The woman will say "He said sorry and he'll never hit me again" and stuff like that. I understand in most ways how Women can sometimes get caught up in abusive relationships. Plus the guy will often threaten the woman to scare her into leaving.

A sad poem that is well-written and this is something that needs to be expressed. Maybe as a guy I can never completely comprehend the whole concept. I've never raised a finger against my girlfriends and I don't know why other guys would.

Sorry, I seem to be rambling a bit. Good job, at least you expressed this woman's situation yourself. You seem to be a caring young woman that might go out of her way to help people. :)

It is so nice to know you are a kind guy in words and heart. Thank you so much. :) I appreciate you having a time to read this one.

Thanks. Despite the fact that I adore everything violent and dark, such as Film, Television, Literature, Video Games and such, in real life I abhor violence. :)

This was quite the excellent ride of short rhymes laced with heady lines... Your style borders on lyrical, with the repeated phrases and ideas made bold with repeated ingestion... We all encounter hard realities in life, male and female... Hopefully the healthy choice can be made by all of us when faced with such tragedy... Emotionally penned...

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much for your wonderful words.:)

[apennylate]

Mhm... Your'e welcome...

[mercy party]

it was catchy, it was sad and brutal. the repeating hook kept me as a reader invested and involved, that's tough to do. This is such a devastating issue, you did a good and respectful job presenting something that needs to be presented. : )

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much. :)

and they just feel the need to hang on,scared,ashamed and battered

[CAPOLAVORO]

Yes, these kinds of feelings are quite normal in the absence of love. Thank you for your time. :)

My mother had three abusers.
"I do
You do?
Do you really do?
I doubt its true
But still I believe in you"
Many woman accept bad place. Hard to twist a heart that won't give up. Thank you my dear friend for sharing the excellent and realistic words.

Thank you so much for your review also Cayote. Your mom have been through a lot I believe and she needs you to be there and to understand her and also let her see the other side of life if there is a chance to choose still. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

A worthwhile poem and you are welcome.

Thank you so much. :)

Haha, well I loved your poem, I do you do...
It's not sad reality, pschology says if u loves some one and after time if he hates you or she hates you there i no chance of hatred from us it's just matter of increasing love by day.....stupid theory but a fact....
Well done you are true to humans....

[CAPOLAVORO]

I do understand you Surya. :) You are also entitled of your own opinion indeed. We may see love, life and abuses in different ways.
I just hope for those relationship where worse comes being worst. There would be no hint of abuse that would lead to too much pain and suffering and even being killed or suicide.
Thank you so much for your time.

This is indeed a sad reality and you have done a great effort to convey the message. I couldn't understand what your repetition stanza (the first 3 lines) meant but apart from that it's really well written.

I would say, not all women choose to stay in an unhealthy relationship like that but yes that happens. The country from which I am, there was recently a case here of the same issue where the wife was beaten so much that her collar bone broke and that too on her wedding night just because she refused to have sex.
These sad realities should really come out in the open and I applaud you for writing about this issue. 👍👍

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much for appreciating this one and for your time. About the repetition stanza.

I do - this is the i do of the man during the wedding.
You do?
Do you really do?
The two follow up would be the uncertainty of the wife for his I do. It could also be the quarrel happening between them. Sometimes the man would say sorry and beg for the wife to stay and say I do love you or any sweet words but then the hitting happens again and again.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh right. Thank you for clearing that up. It makes more sense now😊

[CAPOLAVORO]

You are very much welcome. :)
