She came to me crying last night
Heartbroken
Why does he treat me this way she asked
I know he loves me
Why does he beat me down
Until there is nothing left of ME anymore
Why does he turn everything I love into nothing
I know he loves me, she cried
Why does he do this to me
I told her the only thing I could think of
The truth
He loves you all right, I said
He loves to have you under his feet
It makes him feel superior to beat you down
To destroy your confidence
And make you subject to his whims
He loves to hold you down and build himself up
By belittling all you hold dear
Oh yes, my friend, he certainly does love you
The question is
Why do you love him
This is a question that is pondered all over the planet. A very good write with good advice. Once again, you wrote about my ex-husband. I waited too long to leave, but everyone has a choice.
Perfect Question! Perfect! Thank You for this very strong and powerful message here so perfectly written. You've written about something so Ugly! so soft spoken. You really should get this one to as many as you possibly can. Thia is Great! for those battered wonen shelters and for others to ask others they know in this Exact situation! This really will help many if you can do that! Everywhere Sue. churches schools etc.
Thank You Sue

Yes it is painful and then the next question is when something is dead it is time to part. I would tell her to run and keep on running. It will not get better. Nila is right also.

Sue,
This is very painful full of an excellent message why do we allow ourselves to love one that hurts our souls and life. Abuse is not just physical often it is mential. i have a friend that is in this spot right now I just often ask Why do you love him??????????? One day I hope she wakes up she is a beautiful soul. She deserves better I only wish she could believe it. Thanks for posting this very moving poem.:) :(
