Feel me...see me ( a tribute to all battered partners everywhere)

Feel me...see me  ( a tribute to all battered partners everywhere)

See my face know my heart,
see my fear torn apart.
See my face look at yours,
see Ā your hands the hurt they cause.
See the bruise, see the scar,
see the burns from your cigar.
See the tears that streak my Ā cheek,
see me crushed and Ā think I’m weak.
Feel me shudder with the pain,
feel me shrinking once again.
Feel no pity, no remorse,
feel the power, feel the force.
Feel the change that’s taking place,
see the anger on my face,
see the light now in my eyes,
see just how I realise.
Feel me close and sense my heat,
feel me gone and hear my feet
Feel my strength to turn and say,
ā€˜see my back’ and walk away!

I love how everything falls into place than a dramatic ending, their walking away from the pain and hurt they went through. I love it! Great poem!

Hi Christopher, yes you are correct and sometimes some subjects are difficult to write about.
Although Ā its a sad reality that this happens so often behind closed doors, I wanted to offer a glimmer of hope that with some courage a woman or a man affected COULD find the strength to walk away.Thank you my Wordsmith, for your comments, which are always valued so highly.

Leaving behind memories, shattered and afraid?
