How Could You?

Poems About Life

How can you hit her like that?!
How can you call her all those names?!
She does so much for you.. everyday
She treats you like a king
You treat her like she's nothing
Nothing but a punching bag
She loves you dearly
But you lie and hurt her so many times
She wants to leave
But she's afraid of you
You've turned something amazing
Into something vulnerable
She could have been a great person
If you didn't tear her down so many times
She could have changed your life
But you already changed hers
How could you? She asks everyday
But you always say you've done nothing
The public is unaware
But her bruises, people always stare
She has to lie and stay by your side
She cries blood every night
While you're sleeping soundly
You are a monster!
You are going to hell and you don't care
The way she's treated isn't fair
It's something no one should go through
She always thought she loved you
I bet you thought you loved her too...

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is about abuse between a man and a woman. It happens all the time, with all kinds of people, it doesn't matter the age. It's not right and it's something that shouldn't even exist. I would never want this to happen to me or someone I know either. I know that sometimes it can be the other way around but it's usually like this. There are some men out there that think they're better and that they can do what they want to women. Women and men are EQUAL and that's how it should be. No one should make someone feel inferior like this. If it ever happened to me, I would fight back with every ounce I had.
