THE BATTERED

This is such a
Painful partnership,
Filled with physical
And verbal obscenities.
I married you in love,
I stay with you in fear.
I am not only terrorized
By your abuses.
I have become
Increasingly aware
That I am
No longer a person,
Of any worth.
I am less
Than a nobody,
Having been battered
By words and fists,
Into a mountainous
Pulp of nothing.

I now fear
Living without you
As much as I fear
Living with you.

When does such
Torment end?

When I am dead?  
Perhaps!

Sometimes struggling with our past and current fears is harder for some than most realize. i should know i've been battling them for years now.But i still liked this one.
