Im feeling a little bit
dazed and confused you left me beaten, bleeding heartbroken and bruised The marks on my body they do not lie and there is nothing in this world that can justify what you've done! you probably cant imagine the horror I felt when reflected in the mirror I first saw the welt and the imprint of you bite etched in my skin Im standing bewildered recounting your sin and you got the nerve to say lets try again! as you look at the ring worn around my throat from your calloused hands as they violenty choked the air from my lungs till I fell to the floor unable to scream or escape out the door tell me was it all you hoped it would be? did beating on me somehow set you free? or was it my fear got you off instead as I laid there limp with you stomping my head? I can hear you tell me you love me now if I give you a chance we'll work it out somehow you'll make it up the way you always do, but as the swelling fades and the bruises heal and I struggle with time to erase what I feel I will not let You Love Me Black & Blue This was attemted criminal homicide reduced to a simple assault when a woman dies at the hand of her man tell me who should bear the most fault? the man who committed such a dreadful act with no remorse for what he had done? the woman who fell victim under violent attack who had nothing and no where to run? or maybe the system should be held to account for pleading them down then letting them out! the victim in this tale her life he did rob through his plea was set free and he finished the job! by lingau copyright 2005 Domestic Violence Awareness |

Words can't describe the pain the is felt when a boy sees his mother beaten and bruised.
Helping her off the floor every night, wondering what has caused such an awful fight. Staring down the man that abuses. Fantasizing murder and wonder what's to lose. The abuse isn't isolated to just one person, it spreads like cancer to each and every one. Your poems are amazing. They remind me very vividly of my past experiences and things that I have been through in my own life. |

I would like to see this etched in every judges desk. And required memorization for every future law school graduate. Very powerful.
