Maritza De Jesus Poet I do not know?

Emotional Abuse

Tears, Tears
Everywhere!
Pain, Pain
In her stomach!
He makes her 
Cry,
Every night..
But he won't
Lay a finger on her.
She's not happy
anymore!
She has to act 
As though she wants
To be there.
Her mom tries to see
The hurt in her eyes.
But she hides it very
Well.
She love him as she
Says.
But she can't take 
The emotional abuse.
She can't take the 
Pain he causes her.
The pain he causes her 
With his words.
His words, a piercing 
Knife.
Her heart, the center
Of his aim.
But she can't go.
He'll kill himself...

Pandita Sietesantos June 25, 2014 at 9:18 PM Hi Maritza, this is a true gem. No woman should put up with any kind of abuse. We have to be strong and know when to leave in spite of the circumstances. Thank you for sharing this story which is the story of too many women. Well done! Warmest regards.
