Abused Vow

Because i said i love you 
You declared your war on me
Like giving permission to bring to ruin
The heart inside of me.

People who dont know me
Would never treat me as you do
But its ever since i said i love you
My soul is black and blue

Ive become your personal whipping post
Shackled by a promise and a ring
Now it seems vowing to love you
Is a very dangerous thing

We are supposed to share in everything
To give and take in comprimise
And though i say i love you
I see the rage seething in your eyes

Ive learned there are givers and takers
I clearly see where you made your stand
But i can no longer say i love you
For youve changed the man i am

Very touching poem! I wonder how many spouses live this reality behind closed doors. Sometimes the people that behave the most unloving need love the most.
