His Love
I really like writing poems that help people think. I think most of my poetry has some sort of backround about difficult aspects in life. This one in particular was a hard one to write. Not only in the respect that it is a terrible thing going on in society but that woman who go through this dont feel they have a way out. And sometimes the ones that do don’t get out in time. It depicts what is thought of as love. It’s about what I would think abused woman deem love as. Until they finally realize that someone who does this to you doesn’t really love you. If they did they wouldn’t be hurting you because love isn’t suppose to hurt.

his love.
It grabs me forcefully,
by my throat.
It’s grueling fingers,
seize my neck.
I can’t breathe.
It leaves marks,
his love.
A mask disguising my face,
veiling wounded emotion.
The shades of his love,
adorn my body.
Purple and blue.
It lies,
his love.
Whispering beautiful deception,
into hopeful ears.
Sweetly persuasive apologies,
promising fabricated tales.
A happy ending.
It’s hard,
his love.
It destructs my veneer,
countless rampant emotions.
Bones cracking like glass,
agonizing rage paints my life.
A heart ruptured red.
It’s sad,
his love.
No ecstasy or exuberance,
just a desolating existence.
I cry bloody ceaseless tears,
blind to his affection.
A passionate abhorrence.
It’s malicious,
his love.
Detaining, exploiting,
a nightmare imprisonment.
It bares my deepest fears,
overpowers my will.
Leaving me despairingly ostracized.
It hurts,
his love.
It leaves marks and it’s hard,
destructive and demanding; leaving me eternally scarred.
It sad,
his love.
It’s malicious and it lies,
disfiguring and deceiving; an impending demise.
His love is all but what it’s meant to be.
Treasuring, compassionate, blissfully free.
Now with aspiring strength, my eyes open, I stand tall.
Knowing finally that his love was never love at all.

Thank you so very much, I was very touched bye your poem! I too am a survivor my ex husband chocked me threatened to kill me and my son as well as holding us hostage over night.
No one deserves to be abused! I am so glad you realize this and I pray you are out of the situation. Being alone is better than being in an abusive relationship any day. I have now found a wonderful man, they are out there! Keep the faith hun good men are out there.

I’m happy you found someone else and its gud to hear my poem touched you! :) Thanks
