Did I Deserve It? * Poem by Mrs. Cynosure

Did I Deserve It? *

Rating: 4.9


You come in, sit on my bed,
Telling me you’re sorry,
Over and over again,
For another night that you dread.

My screaming eyes still stinging,
From all the betrayed tears I can’t cry.
You saying that it hurts you,
More then it hurts me to strike your fist against my skin.
Only if that was true,
But my soul speaks the truth,
Your lies speak none of.
Telling me it won’t happen again,
It happens over and over again,
I know this of truth.

My flesh may not be black and blue but,
My body is secretly broken and bruised,
My heart cut into yet another piece.
You can not see the scars on my skin,
For you leave no marks,
Unless its on my heart.

You are crying you say,
Out of guilt.
With one more push that knocks me down,
Then comes the size 8 shoe,
Because I don’t stay the right things.
At the time where I have just been,
Hurt so badly I cant stand up.
Yep this might mean another hospital trip,
I plead for you to stop.
Please no please I forgive you! ! !
I love you please stop! ! !

I lay there limp thinking,
Did I really deserve it this time, Mom? ? ?

Very well done - as I read I thought a man, only to find the mother. Excellently how the I was set on one thing only to realize another. I liked it very much.

Very emotional portrayal of the abuse so many endure...yet pain shared diminishes....

This is a very bitter piece, but well penned. Parents can be tough to take at times. They can so easily hurt their children in so many ways, but experience has taught me that the worst of wounds and scars can mend when dealing with the heart. Though the journey is never an easy one. Well done.
