Abuse part one* : Easter Poetry

written by Poet : Twin Ringer


you say there rules

and i’m all about breaking them

that’s the way i’ve been

bend a rule

see if it bounces back

 

there’s a puncher of your past

hovering around your house

that boy is all out of control

you tell me your ex is polite

then why does he keep

barging in

 

now i realize your history

history of domestic and abuse of a child

but make the reports

sign the lines

he’s stealing away your time

 

well i understand he’s

half a foot smaller than me

what happens in the morning

i head for work and

he starts  the anger of naivity and hostlitity

 

you tell me

he doesn’t want you

he just wants command

he slaps and hopes you and

social services will understand

 

now i’m not much for ultimatiums

you can cut him loose

or you can bait him

i’m sailing away with tears fogging my eyes

can’t be a knight in the water rusting

 

i can try to help you

lend you a compassionate ear

but we have hourglass time

the beach is pulling away

and i cannot live with fear
