Changing patterns

He hit me she said but he said that he loved me,
he threw things at me, he held me down,
his eyes were cold, his words were cruel,
there were children unharmed physically involved,
she didn't know what to do,

Sometimes he showed that he was vunerable,
she could feel his torture and his inner pain,
the darkness that surrounded him, that held him suspended,
the wall that stood fast and stood strong, that took its claim,

The addiction that fed on him and years of a child's mistreatment,
the anger and vengance that silently waited under the surface of his skin,
like a cancer growing to destroy life from the inside out,
masked by everyday rituals but all a sherade,

So she wiped away her tears and she said to him calmly,
I will not be your punching bag, you will not hurt me anymore,
I know why you do the things you do and I can love you with much loyalty,
but if you won't help yourself I can't be beside you anymore,

My patience has been emense and I gave you my devotion,
the openess of my heart was never fake, I don't know how,
I won't allow you to use me to escape from you any longer,
but my unyielding support is yours if you try to make things right,

So she walked away from his anger, tears, pain, and pride until he was ready,
she let him think it all through and truly appreciate what he had,
if you are going to purposely live wrong than what is the point,
but if you live knowing it all matters,
love comes in abundance to those who walk in light
Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    the inside in words. well structured/portrayed emotion. and yes, your style has evolved over the past bit.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Wow...
    Reminds me of something one of my friends went through...
    There was also a story about this abuse on "Extreme Makeover" this last week....
    It made me cry...

    yeah, abuse really does suck, not easy to deal with, however, it is quite a growing and learning experience once you get past the pain, you can decide whether you get something positive out of it or stay "trapped" and stuck
