About the Poem

Dark morbid and mmm mmm good.

I hope you enjoy my work .. because I do so love
to write it. Although depressing, morbid, and dark. it makes me feel better to let the pain out

The Morning After

The morning after
our last date,
as I awoke, my bones did ache.
I stood by the mirror
to examine my body,
and what I saw was not very funny.

I examine the bruises, the gashes, the pain;
I wonder when it will happen again.
I look at the room,
all trashed and destroyed;
I want to leave you
but I can't find the strength.

I know I'm weak ..
I know I'm feeble,
but deep down inside me
I still love you.

But now I'm leaving..
Now I'm gone,
and if I ever want to turn back
I'll just remember...

...the morning after.

WONDERFUL! Brought back horrible memories, not only of my childhood and my mom and my siblings and I being beaten, both physically and mentally; but also of a love affair of many years ago that was not physically abusive but emotionally abusive! I have a hard time recalling both, as the physical pain does die, but the emotional pain lives on for a live time! I pray this poetress has moved on with her life and has found a safe harbor at last!

This poem is great. As dark as it is, it's a great inspiration to those in an absuive relationship. I was in one and it took me a long time to realize that although I cared about this guy, my love was not going to make him stop. Congrats to all that have the strength to walk away from abuse.
