He Won't Hit Me Anymore

Poem Artwork


He don't mean to hit me
He said he would stop
He said he was sorry
He even told the cop

He's under alot of stress
So much pressure in his life
No one else to take it out on
Except his loving wife

No, I won't press charges
Though he's hurt me before
I know him better than anyone
He won't hit me anymore

So he drinks a little beer
And it makes him mean
He can be so sweet...
Life isn't always what it seems

He tells me that he loves me
And I take his hand
He won't hit me anymore
Why can't you understand

OMG.......That picture is so sad...

I swear a man would never hit me.......I'd hit him back twice as hard...What sort of man could/would do that anyway? No sort.......real men are protectors......not aggressors.

Very sad write......ty for sharing, Dani

I've never understood why any 'man' should choose to abuse his wife in this way or vice-versa (and that DOES happen). Painful write but well written Linda

Why doesnt the person who is abused understand that it will never stop. Is their love that great that they may die because of abuse.
I have seen it many times, I am sure we all have. Your words say it like always, I love him and no one else understands.

Linda, this is such a powerful poem, that cries for justice to be done...a calling for those who have been down this road...to help others avoid the same thing...it is such a sad thing to see a look like the one pictured above on such a pretty face...this was beautifully written.

(((linda)))

the picture and the message of the continuing cycle of abuse hits like a fist into the gut

thank God, thank God, i'm not in that anymore--my ex hit me once, i hit him right back and told him, "i told you once, you s.o.b., you ever raise your hand to me in anger i'd knock the **** outta you" and i did :) he never hit me again--once was enough

now if i could have only learned to leave the verbal abuse behind--that hurts worse, i think

scars and physical blows heal over time, but scars imbedded in the soul never fully heal...DO THEY????

powerful, powerful, emotional write *tears* well done

(((HUGS))) and love,

karla.

i'm in agreement--hope that's not you in the pic *tears* i'm sorry you had to go through this (((HUGS)))

Yes, but the more he drinks the more he will hit..
Most men who do this hitting are cowards, they only
hit the weak.
Great write Linda...
Have a great day!

any man who purposely abuses or hits a woman is a bastard in my book, and they deserve to be locked up in jail, where they can rot!

powerful, heartwrenching write that tells of the horror of this atrocity! very well done, and the pic....wow! heartbreaking! HOW can a man do this to a woman; it's pathetic is what it is!

What an incredible write.
People want so much to believe their world will be OK, that things will be the way they "Should" be...that promises will be kept.
You do such a precious service with your writing.

Unfortunately abused women go on taking these beatings from thugs until one day they realize there is no love there at all and have him put in jail where he belongs. The pic says a thousand words that I can not embellish upon.

Just makes my blood boil,
you told this so well,
glad you used the word he cos he ain't a man,
only time I'd hit someone is if I saw women, children or animals being
beaten up.

Oh, Linda, this is such an unfortunate situation for some women.
This was moving, and it really touches the heart. Sadly, so many
women lose their lives for staying in those relationships.
I'm glad you shared this piece.
Thanks.
