Wedding Vows Don'T Mean a Thing, When I Get Hit With the Ring

The frigid cold in your soul Is taking the biggest toll On our love--it's hard to handle it I am getting tired of this sh-- What happened along the way When everything was A.O.K. And you never got this mean Now every days a horror scene Yelling and screams never end As I try hard to defend Myself from the hits and blows With every minute violence grows And all this intensity Is getting the best of me While I cower and take cover Where's the vows to always love her Keeping me safe and protected How come you've finally neglected The words you spoke so long ago Why's it buried down below Underneath all this new danger That I'm put in with the anger Every time you raise a hand I see a shiny wedding band Leaving a mark on my face It's becoming a disgrace Treating me with such disdain I can no longer take the page More and more your inflicting And its got me really thinking How to escape from this jail I need a plan that will not fail Getting free from all this strife Allowing me a brand new life

A very strong poem . I was raised to believe a man must never hit a woman but I have never believed that sticks and stones may break my bones but calling names won't hurt me rubbish either . Words can hurt every bit as much as a blow. Thanks for sharing . Daz
