Notes About The Poem
The type of abuse that happens on the inside The victims receive inner scars they can hide This is an abuse that can be done over and over From someone that's angry, drunk or even sober Suspects can vary from a mother to a friend An emotionally abused heart isnt easy to mend Its actually very hard for the abused to notice To please their abuser is all they have in focus They're told by others to leave the relationship The mix up of love and abuse keeps a tight grip Victims make up their minds to make an escape The abuser causes them guilt some kind of way The abused want to believe that there is hope They are being held captive by imaginary ropes Telling themselves that things would get better Suspects of emotional abuse are quite clever They make you think its love when its control One minute talking sweet and the next very cold A relationship like this leaves you very confused Take it from someone like me who's been abused

Emotional Abuse

Listen to poem:
The type of abuse that happens on the inside
The victims receive inner scars they can hide
This is an abuse that can be done over and over
From someone that's angry, drunk or even sober
Suspects can vary from a mother to a friend
An emotionally abused heart isnt easy to mend
Its actually very hard for the abused to notice
To please their abuser is all they have in focus
They're told by others to leave the relationship 
The mix up of love and abuse keeps a tight grip
Victims make up their minds to make an escape 
The abuser causes them guilt some kind of way
The abused want to believe that there is hope
They are being held captive by imaginary ropes
Telling themselves that things would get better
Suspects of emotional abuse are quite clever
They make you think its love when its control
One minute talking sweet and the next very cold
A relationship like this leaves you very confused
Take it from someone like me who's been abused
