~*~this may sound depressing but it's all true, and it's dedicated to dan cos he lifted me out of this black place and showed me the light~*~

Once upon a time there was a little girl
and every night she'd go get high
somebody would lace her drink
and for a moment she could fly

She'd meet up with her older boyfriend
who'd always carry her to his home
he'd kiss her then relentlesly beat her
gaze at her bruises then leave her to cry alone

There was a time when she would cut her wrists
to try and escape the pain
tears welled up just like the blood
she'd sob and try again

Every day the scars grew
and her boyfriend beat her more
until one day she punched his nose
and pushed him out of the door

the bruises and scars took time to fade
and she tried to release her pain
until one day someone walked into her life
and taught her how to love again

from the minute she first spoke to him
she knew he was the one
and from the day she met him
she knew her sad days were done

He started out as a friend
but they both wanted it to be more
when one day he said "i think i love you"
the little girls heart began to soar

Scars take time to fade and bruises will do too
claddagh rings wore the wrong way round
the way i look at you
shows my love is true

You're my angel daniel
and i owe you more than i can think
and now i can fly freely
without anyone lacing my drink.

~*~it's a sad poem. i seem to be writing more of them when i'm not with you!love you much c u on haleys trampoline on sat!~*~

Laura, you arent allowed to talk about alot of the things, because its a "family forum"...ya whatever its kinda weird i think in my opinon. This was really amazing, awesome tribute to your boyfriend. I wish you two all the best.

If you only understood my pain then maybe you could learn to be my friend. Be there. My crying shoulder. The smiles. And the caring i need to survive.

Laura, it was great to see such a story come to a good ending. It was a shame that you had to be the one to endure all that you did, but the good ending is here, and I know that you will now do just fine. Your poem showed your saddness, but more importantly, your happiness which you deserve in life. Great poem, keep it up. Stay just as happy.

Laura, it's very sad that you had to endure all that pain caused by someone else's insecurities and need for power.  You didn't deserve it.  However, I'm very glad you're happy now, and that someone's treating you the way you deserve to be treated.  I'm glad you're happy... the way you should have been all along.  This is a very good poem, and I enjoyed it a lot.  Nicely done

I am glad that you escaped such a dangerous situation.  The flow was off in the 8th stanza, but it did not sound too bad.  Great job.

This was a bit borderline talking about your drive to want to comit the final act of a life....but it did say that found a loved one to save you....I thought that was sweet.

I also feel that the stanza before last lost a bit of flow and scheme....other than that the poem was great.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I too almost immediately locked it for review.
But as you read along the lines of the poem, it shows that there is life in the future
Hope others learn from this
thanks for sharing

Oooo this one is very powerful. It is fantastic to see that someone has brought out of a place like that into a warm, loving environment.
Thanks for this. I really enjoyed it.
