You talk but I can't listen
Your words hurt more than your hands
The scars you leave with your words are so much worse than the scars left by your hands
I left so many times
But like a magnet you always seem to pull me back in
I try to leave again today but my feet feel like bricks
I can't move
I see your fist coming toward my face
But I don't feel anything
I think i've finally gone numb
This time you walk out and I stay
I pick myself up off the floor
After I realized I wasn't standing up anymore
I walk towards the door to leave
I finally start to feel something
Pain
But not because you hit me
Because you never loved me
yet
I'm still sad about leaving
I think I still care about you
And that hurts more than your words do

"Because you never loved me
~yet~?"

You certainly did capture how the abused think, staying  in a relationship with a coward.

Hope no children are involved for too often they repeat the patterns of parents when they are adults.

Don't know if this is your experience but if it is too bad you don't love him.....
~enough to leave~.

Hugs, Pat

Thank you.And your right, it does happen way to often. We have to be very careful who we let into our lives.

Oh, my friend, how well you described a situation that too many of us have to suffer through. The physical pain you get over, but the thoughts and memories are harder to overcome.  Yes, be careful who you let into your life, but don't close the door completely...

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~

This is controlling and manipulation and posseveness and pain and suffering...
Couldn't be further from love if you tried...
