Love doesn't hurt like that!

Violence in any relationship is the output of sick minds that cause hurt in the name of love. It is so easy to confuse "sick" love with "caring" love when fulfillment of needs are strongly sought and any attention at all gained from the abuser is disguised as love.

Stopping the abuse has to begin at home where the abuser is taught to abuse.

It surely isn't, although I think it does, for far too many.

Ah, but that isn't love, then, is it Karla. Good.

Your lines identify the truth that love isn't pain. True love never allows abuse. A man who physically abuses his woman isn't a real man.

Any man or woman who verbally/physically abuses their loved ones, their partners, their mates is lower than a snake's belly. Chillingly effective poetry that wraps its fingers around the heart and gives it a painful squeeze. You may have saved lives today with this hardhitting piece today. Thank you! Very well done, Karla; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <
