She Got Away : Adult Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

What did I do wrong ?

Don't you love me anymore ?

Why did you hit me ?

 

 Don't hit me again .

Can't you see I'm black and blue .

Keep your fists off me .

 

I'm frightened of you .

I fear to hear your footsteps .

Don't come home tonight .

 

Once we were in love .

Once we were able to talk .

I don't want to fight .

 

I don't need abuse .

I'm not a punch bag .

I'm fragile and very weak .

 

I cannot fight back but I can defend myself .

I'll stand on my feet .

 

I've got to tell you ,

You'll never hit me again .

I'm better than that .

 

I'm better than you .

I'm better off without you .

I've changed where I'm  at   .
