Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
This is a shorter poem and portrays to me the feeling of helplessness at times when trying to figure out if you are going to leave a relationship, if you are strong enough and if you can stay away.....
I find no answers in your eyes, never knowing where I stand,
To have you for awhile is all that I demand..
I know I should walk away when I see your empty grin
Yet I play with fire and you pull me farther in.
You give me just enough of you to make me want to stay,
then I look into those eyes haunted with yesterdays,
I try to pull you from the darkness into the light...
but this battle is neverending and against my soul I fight.
You do not know my tender soul or the way my hearts been broken
Or the way I have to bite my tongue when my words remain unspoken,
Both having walls to climb, yet neither seems to go there,
I wonder will we ever even have a prayer?

That described exactly how I used to feel. I could actually feel that pain again.
