How Did You Feel

How did you feel 
when you knocked me down 
did your heart feel  proud 

Did you laugh out loud 
as I fell to the ground 
Hitting the floor
without a sound 

As you trampled my body
in the pale moonlight 
Danced with the devil 
in the shadows of the night 

As I laid in the stench 
of your wicked deceit
Cold and broken 
lost in defeat 

Were you proud of yourself 
when your fists hit my flesh 
When you strangled me 
until I was close to death

Did you feel like a man 
when you stole my breath 
When my face turned blue 
and my strength had left 

How does it feel 
knowing I'd be dead
From the drug induced madness 
flowing through your head 

If it wasn't for the one 
who rescued me 
Who broke down the door 
and set me free

How would it feel
to have my blood on your hands 
Would you feel real proud 
like a big tough man 

Instead of the pathetic creature 
that you really are 
Just a  low life coward 
who likes to leave scars

So much pain. Your words just weep the would.be page. In spite of the terrible scenes you've set, the courage with which you write is very special, it shows spirit alongside the cruelty you've experienced, The actual wording is precise, not overly emotional, that makes this post very vivid.

Thank you so much Emma Joy.

Such strong feelings got from this poem. Coward and a sense of shame attached to the perpetrator.

Powerful writing sad yet affirming. Great flow too you made your point loud and clear.

So raw and hard to read but full of truth. Can a monster feel anything?? Other then his maniacal need to damage and control. I believe a large number of abusers are sociopaths...no conscience or compassion. This is a compelling write!!

Thanks so much.

I feel bad and ashamed simultaneously that it happened to you.
Your suffering has been vividly depicted in this piece.
May I suggest a clue for the missing fourth line of the first stanza?
"Did your heart feel proud
by winning a fake crown"
It is just a suggestion.
You may keep your piece as it is or make other line to match.
Hope you will take it easy.

Thank you so much for your review I will keep that idea in mind for sure.
