The Downfall of Mankind

Dawn has broken and this is a new day. Children will be born today, People will die tomorrow. Parents will look at their children, Wondering about their future. Lovers will look into each other's eyes, Their love will blossom, Falling madly in love. Dogs will lay in the sun, Without a care in the world. Cats lay in the windowsill, Knowing their owners love them. But as the dark clouds form, Down the street a woman, Verbally abuses her wife, Not knowing the damage it will do, To her heart, her body and her very soul. It will virtually tear her down, Cursing their love, Her outlook of mankind will be destroyed. She is a broken woman.

Hi Shirley, Verbal abuse is vicious, and its lasting effects can last a person’s whole lifetime. Well done-Alexis

Verbal abuse can be so much more emotional and the scars and bruises don't show and never go away. Your right the first time I had that dream in 12 years so I sat down and wrote a poem "Nightmares at 1am." Writing poems is better than therapy haha. I feel so much better. Thank you for your kind comments.

Yes believe me I know all to well. Courage is having the strength to walk away. The knowledge to heed the warning signs in the future. Hoping you have a great rest of your day.
