"He hits me no more"
  by L.edwards


He hits me
He hits me
He hits me repeatedly
Until I was on my knees blood flowin from between my knees
as I beg you no stop and please
but you never listen to me
see you aren’t right to me
staying with you was a mistake
a punishment I shouldn’t have to receive
I loved you deeply until your touch made me feel uneasy
the first time you hit me I told myself it was my fault
repeated it over and over until I started to believe me
but I was right it was my fault only because I stayed to let you beat me
you told me what to wear how to wear and style my hair
I thought you knew best so I didn’t care
you were so jealous but I understood you just not wanting to share
but as your beating me down im begging you please
I don’t cheat im sayin he's the one who glanced at me
our eyes never did meet
he’s swinging while screamin bitch
when we out in the streets your eyes never leave me
im begging pleading okay I promise to walk behind you
you telling me let another motherfuckers eyes ever find you
and you could only imaged what im going to do to you
He hits me
He hits me
He hits me repeatedly
but im not telling anybody they asking what’s going on with you
you got black eyes bloody nose your lips split why cant you be thru wit this
we all know he the cause of this hurt brought upon you
how could you love someone who really doesn’t love you
but im sayin ya’ll don’t know him like I do
he loves me that’s why I get beat he really do
im so naive taking up for you
the message everyones trying to send its just not getting thru
once more im in the hospital explaining to the nurse that im in the wrong
the things that I did I ain’t have to do
am i addicted to u or forced to be wit u
He hits me
He hits me
He hits me repeatedly
but this time instead of me being on my knees bleeding begging and pleading
im on my knees giving thanks to god for my life that I still have it unlike many asking for the strength to leave this man
asking god to help me understand this twisted plan
cus even after all this pain and hurt he put me thru I don’t even hate this dude
he made me better at first I was down but now hes made me brighter cus I
know im stronger, god he made me able to gather my little bit of things and
walk away from my abusive days I even gave him back his rings face to face
but his hands he did not place on me his mouth did not open to call me out
my name he stood there expressed unchanged but it wouldn’t of mattered becus my decision would have still remained.
Today I feel good about my self and love me but most importantly im sane.

this is a really good poem it flows. I can honestly feel the pain in your words and the progression to the empowerment of self. Keep doing what you doing chica
