The first time I saw your handsome face,
You took my breath away,
And when you ask if I would marry you,
I couldn't wait for that day....
When I found out we were having children,
You pampered to my every need without delay,
I loved you so much,
You took my breath away....
You became discouraged, love wasn't enough,
Your demons tricked you in to lying,
My will was weakened, My escape I couldn't see,
Solitude was my only friend, I felt I was dying....
The bruises all healed, the hateful words
stood at bay,
The only memories I wanted to think about was
Those times you took my breath away....
My pain is gone now, I am finally at rest,
My Children will grow up without me,
But, they will never have to see again your
Demons punish me openly....
I never thought, I never dreamed, I never
Imagined there would come this day,
When the love would end, and your strong hand
Would take my breath away....

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is covered by the dark cloth of the abuser, we must all join forces
to stop Domestic Abuse.)
Here's another version of the same poem, I wrote for the one's who found their strength to walk away and never look back...
The first time I saw your handsome face,
You took my breath away,
And when you ask if I would marry you,
I couldn't wait for that day....
When I found out we were having children,
You pampered to my every need without delay,
I loved you so much,
You took my breath away....
You became discouraged, love wasn't enough,
Your demons tricked you in to lying,
My will was weakened, My escape I couldn't see,
Solitude was my only friend, I felt I was dying....
I close my eyes I see a world of peace, I want
that for myself, my children, for you as well,
There's no way to change you, there's no way I
can save you from this life of Hell....
So I must run the other way, nowhere to go,
Will anyone understand me?
I am weakened, my soul is lame, my spirit
only wants to flee....
Into the night I disappear without a word,
aimlessly I run for my life....
I find the strength, I muster the will
to ignore the fact that I am your wife....
Your demons are too many, I will never be
able to keep them at bay,
I never want to be a statistic by letting
your strong hand take my breath away....
