 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

So Why Does He Do It?


He shows to the world a lovely man,
Helpful, caring and kind,
The 'nice' on display, every day,
So nastiness you cant find.

He tends to his wife and dotes on her,
Helps in everything round the home,
Puts on a show, for all to see,
While she sits quietly alone…

He makes a fuss most constantly,
Cooks meals and makes her tea,
Working like a beaver in the house,
Trying to make us see…

…Make us see what he's about,
As he gushes and flatters her with ease,
Hugging and kissing her cheeks,
And will do anything to please…

But beneath the smile and goodwill,
Therein lies a nasty man,
Who beats his wife most every day!
Whenever and however he can!

Spits in her face, so vile is he,
Tears her hair from her head,
Kicks and punches so violently,
It's a wonder that she's not dead!

He drags her around the home by her arms,
As she screams and tries to stay…
…The fists that are beating on her head,
But she can't stop him there is no way…

I don't know why she stays?
And beg her to leave that man,
Her response is to say she loves him!
She'll do anything for him she can.

She like a little lap dog,
Running around all day,
Fetching this, getting that,
Making sure he is ok…

He smiles at her most constantly,
While visitors are in the home,
But later it's a different story,
For he beats her again once they're alone!

He laughs and smiles and is jolly,
Showing a falseness to the world,
But hark my words, and listen to me,
The monster within him will be unfurled…!

Bruises all over her body,
Hidden away so eyes will never see…
Just what he is doing!
But he will never hide it from me!!

He stands on her feet and spits in her face,
Calls her names so vile and bad,
To see it happen over again,
Makes me so very sad and mad…!

Tiredness showing in her face…
So unhappy you can see the strain,
Knowing with all certainty,
It will happen again, and again!

Cautiously creeping around her home,
So terrified of he…
How can you love a monster like that?
With a twisted love that she can't see!
How can you love a monster like that?

How can you stay in the home?
How can you look at him with love?
How can you ever condone…?

…Condone the beatings and abuse.
Condone what he's doing to you,
Condone the hurt and suffering,
Condone the evil he puts you through!!!

To see her is very sad,
When all I want to do is take away…
All the pain I see in her face,
Every single day…

But She 'Loves' Him!!!!
