Some may not ever gain the strength to leave their abusive relationships, while others find hope in the possibility of love without scars. This is a poem a wrote from a battered woman's perspective after finally escaping her abuser.
At the darkest segment of night, I ride along the summer's wind
The stars gently lead the way to the reflection of my loved skin
I tried to fight the urge to leave,
by starting over again
I wrote my life at the rivers coast,
praying when sanity wears thin
the salt from my tears stain the boardwalk pier,
As the onlookers pass without a glance
I imagine the way it used to be,
before we gave emotions a chance
I’m reminded of my love for you,
and how you shut yours down
looking for you in the shadows
but only my footprints are found.
I loved the way you held me tight... and hugged away my fears.
The only thing left of this broken mess
is my black n blue traced tears.
