Through all the years
Of having no life
I am what they consider
A battered house wife
I walk with my head
Facing the ground
Never looking up
To see who's around
My heart beats slowly
For it has been broke
Torn and tattered
With no sign of hope
My eyes no longer shine
As they once did before
They show my weary past
Saddness to the core
My thoughts aim
To the darkened days
It seems to protect me
From other's evil ways

I do not mean
To whine and cry
Just give me some time
To understand why
Why I survived
The long dark years
Once loving a man
That lived off my fears
My heart has scars
That go so very deep
It bleeds each night
As I drift off to sleep

You see .......

Feeling the love
That I have for you
Sends me to shivers
For I know its true
I have never felt
What you give to me
It scares me to pieces
I have never been free

So .........

Take a few steps back
Look at who I am
I cant change over night
No matter how hard I cram
I told you from the start
That I have alot to learn
No one ever cared enough
I was never their concern


< !signature-->

No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry

Great work. I loved every line. I have lost my poetic touch, but it seems that you have yours. Great work.

Once upon a time there was a light in my life, now theres only love in the dark, There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.

Wow girl  how much I identify!  Same song....same dance that I have lived by.  
I am so sorry that you have to "FIGHT" to love again!  I know that feeling all too well.  When you have this incredible desire inside that is so much a part of you that you breathe  it, and yet are so afraid seemingly (not even of your own accord) to freely let it out because of "FEAR"!

So if I may,  I am putting the lines of a fav song I  have by Celine Dion.  Although, I know they sound good and they are true, I also know they are difficult to live by.  But we can get through it, if we take one day at a time and with the help of others.  Hang in there!!!  Your FULL capacity to  love and be loved will bloom again if you don't allow fear to kill it.  Be sure to read the stanza about fear.  It is so us....so true!  Take care girl.  Beautiful expression here by the way, helped me alot!

Falling into you
(Billy Steinberg / Rick Nowels / Marie Clire D'Ubaldo)

And in your eyes I see ribbons of color
I see us inside of each other
I feel my unconscious merge with yours
And I hear a voice say, "What's his is hers"

I'm falling into you
This dream could come true
And it feels so good falling into you

I was afraid to let you in here
Now I have learned love can't be made in fear
The walls begin to tumble down
And I can't even see the ground

I'm falling into you
This dream could come true
And it feels so good falling into you

Falling like a leaf, falling like a star
Finding a belief, falling where you are

Catch me, don't let me drop!
Love me, don't ever stop!

So close your eyes and let me kiss you
And while you sleep I will miss you

You truly have a special heart...and I'm sure he knows it and will give you the time you need  .  I wish you well and hope that you don't change too much..

I too danced the danced - emotional abuse at least.  He nearly killed my spirit, I had no self confidence etc just as you describe.  It was a battle of a couple of years but I fought back.  I love who and what I am and I will never lose that again for any man.
Also I know those feelings of fear when you are starting to love another...  *hugs of understanding*  Great stuff
