It's my fault

Always making excuses to make it ok.

slap!

It was my fault, I'm sorry!

 

Punch!

I shouldn't have said that!

 

Kick!

I made him angry!

 

Choke!

I knew better!

 

Hair Pull!

I'll be better next time!

 

Grab!

I'll shut my mouth!

 

Push!

I'll mind my own business!

 

Scream!

You went too far!

 

Rush!

To grab the phone

 

Block!

Me from getting help!

 

Gasp!

I can't breathe

 

Sigh!

It's almost over!

sounds like some thing i been through in my past abuse isn't fun to indur but this was a sad and very powerful poem lota emotion here. god bless lily

[Autumn Reign]

Very sad, but fantastic poem.

[Shelby]

Sad, and very true to what abuse is. The set up was interesting. It added to the fast pace that abuse comes at, and the self accusations were very cunningly put. The ending was heart breaking. I guess the whole poem was heart breaking, but the end is when it hit me. Well done.

i agree abuse is what i getting no woman should ever deserve any of that a woman is precious & beautiful & thats how they should be treated but i do luv the dark stuff!!!

I also came put of it with a feeling of domestic abuse and that's how it read. The short phrases worked really well and added to the emotional punch of it.
