Emotionally Abused

Thrown with mighty anger
a radio flew into the air,
it hit the wall and broke
while I sat watching there.

My husband was loud
when I tried to walk away,
he grabbed me by the arm
and told me that I must stay.

Tears fell down my cheek
and fear was taking hold,
I knew I could get hurt
and I needed to be bold.

He shouted at me loudly
and acted like it was me,
I didn't cause the problem
and I wanted to be free.

I cried at him to let me go
for I was feeling scared,
he began to cry and whine
and I was not prepared.

He was all upset with me
after he broke his stuff,
I didn't know what to say
but I knew I'd had enough.

I was crying late at night
and I wanted to get away,
I didn't have bruises on me
but tears fell night and day.

His abuse had an effect on me
and the pain was felt inside,
psychological violence exists
and my heart had slowly died.

I did not feel love for him
when he wanted me to care,
I couldn't handle his words
when he shouted at me there.

He would call me fat and ugly
and many times he swore,
the hurt and teardrops fell
and I didn't want him anymore.

I saw a lot of behavior in him
that caused me much distress,
it took time to heal inside
and my emotions were a mess.

He didn't want me to leave
but I still left his side,
I said goodbye to him forever
and I felt bad when he cried.
