Emotional Abuse Poems - Poems about Emotional Abuse


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 A...

Premium Member 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...

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 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
Some how, you say that I'm the one to blame, I deserved for you to treat me the way you did. It was always my attitude that set you off. Even though I was just a kid. I'd cry myself to sleep at night, Wishing, for all the pain to fade. Knowing I could end it all, Just one quick slice of...
