Emotional Abuse Poems - Poems about Emotional Abuse

Emotional Abuse

The type of abuse that happens on the inside
The victims receive inner scars they can hide
This is an abuse that can be done over and over
From someone that's angry, drunk or even sober
Suspects can vary from a mother to a friend
An emotionally abused heart isnt easy to mend
Its actually very hard for the abused to

Insight, a Soliloquy

Insight must be difficult for you when you’re wounded so easily. You can’t show it, of course, to show your scars and flaws would be considered weak to you, since they can be used against you. So you hide and twist words and speak with blame and hatred. Do not show them your hurt, show

The Weight of Words

They told her,
"Words are just air".
But air can bruise,
and silence can tear. 

She learned to bleed in quiet tones, 
Each syllable a crack in bones. 
They carved her name in crooked lies,
They laughed when truth leaked from her eyes. 

Words were chains that held her tight, 
sweet on tongues, but edged with bite. 
They dressed

A Dying Widow

i can taste her on your lips.
the stain from her lipstick is
infused to the fibers on your
white work shirt.
I'm guessing the color is cherry red.
the scent of her perfume
weakens my stomach,
knots my heart,
takes every hope i had
of our future and turns it into mud,
blood boiling like shower water
you washed with to scrub her touch off

Three Cheat

Three days ago I did not wonder if you loved me
Five days ago I did not wonder what you would do if you could not  me
Three months ago I did not think that in my lowest moments you'd disrespect me 
Three days ago I did not think I'd look at your phone and see

Ascent From Misery

It’s a long slow trip into misery
It starts by putting that bad feeling aside


By narrowing your expectations
And removing all of your pride
 

And as you make you humble
You actually cripple as well
 

You reach so far to have someone else
That it actually puts you in hell
 

It’s a long slow trip into misery
From which I

Loneliness

LONELINESS…..

    DID YOU FOLLOW ME HERE… OR WERE YOU SO DEEP WITHIN ME THAT I COULD NEVER TRULY BE FREE OF YOU, NEVER KNOW LIFE WITHOUT YOU.
I MOVED. A NEW START.  YET, I FEEL YOU. EMPTINESS. A NEW LIFE, NEW THINGS TO FILL THE VOID. IT NEVER WORKS. YOU ARE ALWAYS

Modern Love

“I’m scared to love you, please don’t hurt me”
New and exciting
Two hearts longing for one another 
Hips colliding 
Every laugh, every kiss, every hug
You 
Me 
Us

“You’re the only one I want, forever”
My heart is now two 
The other half was in you
Forever we said 
No matter where no matter what
600 miles was never too much

Worthless Addict Bxxxx

I'm not worthless,
I know my worth
and I'm not worth less.
I'm an addict,
not addicted.
I may be a b!#@h,
but I'm not stuck in insanity anymore.
I know that in my core.
Worthless Addict B!#@h is what you called me,
slinging insults was your nitch.
Everyone else could see
how mean you were to me.
Abusive,
only I know what the truth is,
the distrust I

To My Knees I Drop

when will the misery dissapear,
why cant i just block the terrors out?
my life will never be clear,
my words are never heard even if i shout,
the pain of a thousand spears,
i've drifted from the correct route,
subdue the tears,
i've lost what my life's about,

i've been walking this path for so long,
i'm losing touch with me,
how could a

The Silent Treatment

The silent treatment

Stunned silence,
After that first sweet kiss,
Blissful silence,
Cuddled by love's soft fire,
Angry silence,
Something is amiss,
Endless silence,
Does he not tire?
Screaming in silence,
Breath choked to a hiss,
Shocked silence,
At the funeral pyre.

Gaslighting

Gaslighting

Your words are etched deep into my skin,
They must have hurt, these scars,
But you told me they were beautiful, 
And I believed you.

Your accusations have ripped my flesh in,
My brain and heart, are stored in your jars,
But you said I was safe and beautiful,
And I believed you.

I am bones in a cage in a rusty

I Loved You, I Love Me More

I used to love you
More than I loved myself
But our love took a dark turn
I cared for you, lied for you
Even stood in front of a bullet
I would have died for you
Without a second thought
See,
There's grave danger in putting someone else before you
Because it means you always take the backseat
My wants, my needs
Were put on

Emotional Abuse

Within the confines of the prison
Lies an abandoned soul
He’s looking through the shattered prism
For emotions to take hold

He’s searching for the pain and pleasure
To acquire a human form
Within the exploration
Begins the evil storm

Security is distant
And melancholy strikes
The victim is resistant
And hides his saddened eyes

The sense of self is broken
The roles are undefined
A place of isolation
In

Emotional Abuse

If you draw your child away from normal play, activities and behaviour 
By forcing them to lie about their true desires, 
Then where’s the love?
