Icon16 Did I Tell You I Love You Today?

Did I tell you I love you today?
I did and you slapped me across my face
After telling me at knifepoint that you hated me
You hated our children
You hated yourself
Then you threw me on the floor and stomped my face till
Blood meandered from my eyes, my ears, and mouth
Even after my nose crackled, I can still smell your new boots
Our kids are at Grandma’s house, so they won’t see
Me broken again
You left to charm the nearest bar and left me again
Broken
I had a plan this time
I want you to know that I do love you
But can’t hurt me anymore
Twine is good I think
I just bought it yesterday and it is Martha Stewart’s finest
You will have to clean this time
I’m fed up, climbed up
Twine scratches my neck some, I’m crying one last time
Kicking the chair from under my feet
I did tell you I love you today
I did tell you I love you
I did tell you I love
I did tell you I
I did tell you
I did tell
I did
I

PD

Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting that end! I was really hoping she'd tie him up and beat the bejeezes out of him!

This is so true! So many abusers are charming enough they fool everyone. Then the abused one gets abused again when not believed!

Yes Gail....the charming fool everyone and the abused often times are left feeling like there is no alternative. Sometimes too late. Thank you for taking time to read and to comment. Unfortunately this is a true story.

PD, the art form is masterful and the content is gripping, fast-paced, gritty, and most of all tells a story that is a time bomb for many, many women out there. I would not like to encourage them toward the same end, because I feel that there is always another alternative, such as leaving and getting some help...heck, moving to another country!...but, PD...what a piece of writing you have made of it! Awesomeness, in the words of Ms. J.!!

I wish this person would have had courage to change her life - for her sake, for the children's sake.
No love is worth such tragic ending. It's selfish for this person to leave the children to face what she could not. This is such a sad write PD.

Dear Ms Nomad,

...you got it! I was experimenting with a new form...was not sure...but am so glad you read. Thank you for taking time to read and to comment. I too agree about the outcome and the alternative ways to get OUT of the situation...

I wanted it to be gritty and fast-paced like the life, the emotions, and the "what about" questions...thank you so much Ms Nomad. Take care.

Kim
