I'Ve Paid For Those Beatings I Gave You

(This is a fictional poem) People reap what they sew for the things they do. I've reaped what I sewed for what I did to you. Every time I hit you, it brought you to tears. I've paid for those beatings I gave you over the years. When I had a stroke a few months ago, it paralyzed me for life. I've been a horrible husband and I don't deserve to have you for a wife. You are amazing because you've decided to stay and take care of me. You've made your decision but most people do not agree. I feel remorse because of what I've done before. I don't deserve your kindness, you should walk out the door. While I was an evil monster, you still stuck to your vows. I'm going to do my damnedest to make it up to you somehow.
