About the Poem

My dedication describes this poem - Love should not hurt. There is hope. Excuses are just that, excuses and they are empty. There is no reason for anyone to raise their hand in anger against anyone. This is unacceptable.

Dedicated to women that are stuck in an abusive relationship. True love
should not hurt. Abuse is a disease and the abuser needs help. Have the
courage to help them while helping yourself. There is HOPE.

The Two Faces Of Love

Love has two faces
This I surely know
Which one I see today
I don't rightly know.

At times it is so beautiful,
Makes me feel complete.
Other times it can be vicious,
I often times get beat

Wouldn't it be wonderful
If love would never go
To that dark and dangerous place,
A place I do dread so.

Settle for the happy times,
They are far and few.
I must wake up and leave this man
While alive, and still in view.

Because I am going through the same thing and I have vowed that I will never stay in an abusive relationship. I love him and he is okay when sober but when he gets drunk he becomes a monster. I love him but he hurts me.

Your poem was awesome. It could picture a woman speaking out in this piece who sees the two faces of love. You used nice quotes too. It made me realize how unfortunate other have it and am glad to have only have seen one side.
