You Loved

You loved
________________________

You loved me so much,
that you bruised my face
You loved me so much
I'm a slave in this place.

You loved me so much,
I shiver in fear
You loved me so much
I shake when you're near.

You loved me so much,
you lie and you cheat
You loved me so much
that my body gets beat.

You loved me so much,
my spirit you break
You loved me so much
that your love must be fake.

You loved me so much,
you put me down
You loved me so much
till I'm mute from sound.

You loved me so much,
you stole my last breath
You loved me so much
that you loved me to death.

8/18/14- Jessica Thompson ( Not about me, but there are women who go
through this, and it's sad)

WOW, this is tough, it reminds of a poem I wrote, back in the day. About abused women, who end up in a box. Well done Jessica... Linda

Hi Jessica, I liked the way you handled this. I think abusive relationships are the worst thing in the world, or just about. I cannot fathom how people can treat each other so badly, even to the point of death. You are right, just so sad. I did a little something on the subject. See lyrics, 'I Forgot To Forget You', if you have a minute. luv ya, Jim

Oh...this is heart rending and true for so many women. Twist and warped love...and the end result, if not physical deal is emotional death. Great write.
