poem about spousal abuse
Now that you’re leaving, it complicates our lives;
But I am the reason that I will stay alive.
You caused so much sorrow, grief, and pain.
Now I know at last, my love was in vain.
Hour-less days and day-less months,
How I loved you, despite the punches.

I will go on, I will be free;
No more fears, you will see.
My life will resume,
I will crawl out of this tomb.
The scars will be hard to live with
For your love was just a myth.
But I am the reason that I will stay alive.
