"Abuse In this Home (A BxGrL and DL Martin Collaboration)"
  by Group: KINGPIN WRITERS


BxGrL:

Today was a beautiful day
Enjoyed the things that keep the calm at bay
Cleaned the house, cooked up a roast
Hoping he didn't come from work too burnt

Wanting everything to be neat and clean
Then he walked in with a face that is not to keen..
Wishing that he wouldn't be so mean
And his hand I had not seen

Smack.......

I now have fallen on my back
God please help me, here he goes with another attack.



DL Martin:

Now hold on, hold on.
It wasn't even all that bad.
Yeah, I hit her, but she's a champ
And it's her fault that I got mad.

I mean she was complaining about how I ain't
Never home, and you know I couldn't have that.
So yeah, I laid down the law...the only way that I had.

I remember that when
Daddy beat mommy, he said he was
"keepin her ass in check"

So what if I took a page from his book,
it's not like her eye is black.

Now she up in here screamin and crying
And all I gave her was a lil love tap...


BxGrL:

Love taps?........ That's what you call it
Babe, what you did was cold hardily beat me
I might not have a black eye
But my body was the canvas of your beatings

God forbid your food was cold on the table
Again you would hit me, down right mistreat me
All I want is a little love and attention
But fuck this love is just deception
I'm blinded hoping you would change
Show me the one that I thought I love more with age

Smack.......

Making me feel like I deserve this distress
I try to run out of the room
You grab me by the hair
Now I got all to lose.........



DL Martin:

Well if your body is my canvas
Then the masterpiece I'll have to mold
Born of tears and bruised flesh
As my demons give me scope.

And your hair, your hair
I couldn't help but want to hold
Mentally and physically rape you
Till I claim your very soul...

...

I don't want to hurt you baby,
But there's something about your eyes.
The fear and pain behind them
Feeds this darkness inside.

And you've never been more beautiful
Than when I make you cry
You married a sadist sweetie...
This IS love in my sight.


BxGrL:

I wish you had not broken me
Right down to my very soul
Destroyed the love that's in me
Replaced with fear and pain
Leaving me forever scorned

I hate the look you have in your eyes
The one of satisfaction
Knowing you have beat me all you can
Destroyed my hopes
But I am stupid cause I keep coming for more

I am scared a child
From you to conceive
They would only see
The hurt you have put in me

Molding my body, skin and flesh
into your sculpture
With no time for rest
Then admiring it as if it was refreshed

Raped and used every part of me
Wanting to cover
Ashamed is all I can be
But love is all I want to see

When he is done, he gets up and walk away
And as always
I stay here and pick up what is left
Of my heart....
My body.....
My soul......

Hoping the water of a shower
will cleanse my very soul,
I must have stayed for an hour
Washing away all the blood that from me he stole

Hoping to regain whatever is left in me
Wanting no one else to ever see
I patch myself and get dressed
Conceal the wounds that I now possess

Now let's see what he will do next?
Shall I stay or Shall I go
Right now I really don't know.


DL Martin:

Such a beautiful dilemma
The rending of body and soul
"Shall I stay or shall i go"
*chuckle* As if I don't already know...

Tomorrow I'll bring you flowers
And in my arms your heart I'll hold.
Patch up all the bruises
And let the man you "know" step forth

Whisper to you sweet nothings
Till of your judgment you're not so sure...
Lower those iron-clad walls
As I've done many times before.

Play the part of a chameleon
Perfecting my disguise.
Wooing you with empty promises
Of a better man with time.

And just when you've glimpsed happiness
Your foundation is solid and secure
I'll grow weary of this illusion
And begin the beating upon your door...


BxGrL:

Tomorrow will be the start of another day
I'll try and keep the calm, see if I stay?
When I heard his foor steps on the floor
I looked up in dismay
Flowers is all that stand between him and the door

So whispers to my ear
All the things I wanna hear

Promises of a future with change
Only if I will only stay
My mind and my heart, loving all he had to say

Knowing that he has a moster that resides
Deep down in his sunconscius mind.....
I accepted to stay once again
Knowing in my heart it will all be in vain
And that eventually darness shall fall

And once again there will be Abuse In This Home..........................................

Damn this was wow. It's sad because this is a actual situation that people go through every single day. I loved this poem because it showed the point of view of both the abuser n the victim. Had me captivated from the begining LOL it was long but torwards the end I wanted more. Thanks for sharing, this was a beautiful collaboration! I loved it, ten stars from me.

this was coo that you all took a topic that happens very commonly amongst some couples so definite points on the construction of this piece i also loved the play of both parties and how their perception of the situation changed.

Wow. This definitely held my attention. It's such a shame that this situation actually does happen in somebody's home everyday. Great Job on this.
