Someday maybe you'll be able To look me in the eye again How I long for you to look at me Like you did so many years ago You would stare at me for hours Sometimes saying nothing at all If I happened to catch your gaze You'd break into a smile and wave There would be a twinkle in your eye That look would radiate warmth and love I felt no harm could ever come to me As long as I was in your arms How could I have known that some day That look would turn to hatred And those arms that comforted me Would bring me pain and fear Even though things are better now And the abuse has stopped There are still times when I See a flash of hatred and my heart pounds I think the anger you have inside Is enormous and it frightens me Maybe some day you can learn To tame the demon that dwells inside Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W.

It is a freighting thing to face someone's demon, when they have no control of it, I have tried to tame mine all my life it is a life time struggle. I have taught self defense for over 30 years and it still pains me when I have seen abuse to another person Take care of you. Joel. I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

This was sad and I feel for you hope you are away from this and not still being hurt. It's painful when a love turns to hate but when it turns into physical abuse as well would be so traumatic. Hugs Tracie~ Keep all the windows of your mind open Anne Rooks |

Enjoyed reading this...change will come when he can see his anger and understand how his anger is hurting those that love him. I hope his eyes will be opened and he will hate the person he sees. James |

Joel....yes it is frightening to see. Hard to be the receiver, but I am probably not all blameless in this. Wow.....self defense for 30 years?? Good going!!! Thank you for the kind words. Tracie....It has been over for sometime now and no I am not being hurt still. Just had to let it out I guess. Thanks for the hugs!! James....Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the reply. But, it is too late. He sees, but I think too much has happened to ever go back. Sorry it had to be this way though.
