Why Did You Beat Me

What did I do to deserve this pain? 
All I ever did was the love you
But all you ever wanted to do is strike me with the back of your hand
5 years later
And you are still the same person 
We first started to date
It was great
But as the days turn into weeks
And the weeks turn into months 
And the months turn into years
The abuse you gave me 
Only got worse
I can't sit here and take it any longer
I've decided to leave today
And when I walked to the front door 
With my bags pack
You got in my face and ask where you think you’re going
I said I'm leaving you 
You raised your hand to me 
Now I'm in the Hospital
With the cops at my bedside
Asking me what happen
All I could say was It was your entire fault.

You know what? I enjoyed reading your poem, Kristina. And I'm also glad that you left your loser boyfriend. He's a loser. And if I were to be your real boyfriend, I'd treat you with the respect you really deserve. And no, I'm not like those other guys who are abusive toward their women.
