scared

wrote it about someone i know

shes scared

heart ripped to shreads

beaten by love

taken over

pushed down

beaten black and blue

shes scared

killed by love

saddened by love

her heart loves him more

but hes just too aggressive

hes a monster in disquise

shes scared

to fall asleep next to him

to breath next to him

a fear he will strike

killing her peice by peice

shes scared

to fight back

to run away

her love pushed to the limits

pushed down

beaten like a rug

shes scared

of him

that monster

shes scared

he will

kill her

before she can

get away

getting out of an abusive situation is one of the hardest things that a person can do.....whether it is physical, mental, sexual, or even a self inflicted abuse (like drug addiction).

usually, until someone has experienced it first hand, they don't have any idea of how it can cripple one's will. i think that you have given us a pretty accurate and insightful depiction of an abusive relationship and you should be proud of your work. :)

Just me is very wise. I agree 100%:)

"but hes just to aggressive" I believe you meant "too"
There is a lack of apostrophes here when they are very much necessary. That and other minor grammatical errors made it a less intense read for me. I don't normally take to putting people on the spot like this, so don't take this the wrong way. But the sense that she was trapped by the torturous and often treasonous face of love was very clear indeed. You showed its ugly face, the extremity of its nature and at what cost it may sometimes oblige those who are blind victims heedless of its power. Thank you for sharing

a deep and compelling write, sad and all to real...

wow i really love the intensity of the poem... the constant fear enters my own mind as i read and i feel what she feels... also like the way you constantly negate what love has done to her...

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful poem. It is a bad situation to have to live in fear. Easy to fall for a demon. Hard to escape. I like the description in the poem. Making the emotion of fear come alive. Thank you for a outstanding poem.

It's horrible what he did. But, I'm glad to hear she got away. :)
