Deborah Turner Poet Dramatic Verse

Black and Blue

You say you love me, but this is not true.  You say you love me, but you beat me until I am black and blue.  I know our marriage is over, what about you.  You say you love me, but you beat me until I am black and blue.  This is not love, it maybe too you, I don't like been beaten until  I am black and blue.   I am walking out of the door with memories of the many times you knocked me too the floor.    I am through with you. You say you love me, but you beat me until I am black and blue.  I pray Christ will give me the strength to heal.  I pray Christ will give me the strength to forgive.
