Kill Me Love-Save Me Love

[elanor]

Why discern yours truly so distastefully - I don’t hate you my love, I love you
Eyes that bore love icy with contempt - I don’t loathe you……....I’m just lost
Clenching and unclenching teeth, raging - Rage takes control...…I just get lost
Hands that knew love now hold a whip - My hands still know love.... find me



Gone with the wind is your love my love - My love is like still waters so deep
Mama says you’ll shorten my life my love - Kill you!!............yes my rage will
Papa says you are no good for me my love - Rescue you………yes Ill die trying
I say Ill stay for the man I love - just stay love, stay and save me



Yesterday your rage rained on me dear - Hitting you kills a chunk of me
Mashed my face to pulp it pains to smile - Even a kiss on the lips can’t solve this
It pains to smile but pains more to love you - It hurts to see you cry, hurts so bad
Love, what do you do when lover turns enemy! - Love just don’t leave, help me fight it



“Up and run� friends and foes all say - “Sit and help�…………….I say
“Die bitch� you my beloved always say - “That’s just rage�……..I say
“Divorce� finally even our pastor say - “Forever�………………….....I say
“Till death do us apart, remember!� I say - “Till death do us apart, I remember� I say



What’s the plan to stop the beat in my heart? - The stop of your heart marks my stop
Maybe like an animal bullet through heart - Maybe like Romeo…oh so sweet poison
How about a hunting knife stuck in heart - Maybe a knife……...........to kill my rage
Hurry!! Don’t want to die of a broken heart - Hurry!! Don’t want to die of a broken heart

To be so torn, when does the line between love and real love become blurred?

[elanor]

Its not so easy to stay with someone who constantly hits you. Though it hurts love binds you and the shackles prove to be more strong than any chain. So you stay until one of you kills the other

[junior1]

nicely written
but dad always said " if you have to fight all the time, it's time to leave"

"women was put here to love not beat on"
"so if you feel like beating them it's time to leave"

that double edged sword goes both ways i've found out
but great writing just the same

[elanor]

What if in this case there's really love,what if there's somethiing beneathe the surface,do you just walk out and leave Or stay and fight??
Marriage has vows that tie people forever. Thats why we always say "till death do us part" when we tie the notch. So maybe leaving isnt always the brightest idea

The vows are to love, honor and obey...there's nothing that says, beat the crpp out of one or the other. I have strong feelings because my father, who was a foot taller and 135 lbs heavy than my mother, beat her constantly...even when holding my baby sister. She gathered up the courage and told him, to get out. She remarried to an incredible man,
a man who I consider my real father...because of how he treats her.

If there are children involved, consider if they see this behavior. By the grace of God, I knew it wasn't right to put my hand on any woman, except out of tenderness. I won't tell you of what I think about a man, who beats a woman...and I use the term "man" loosely. You, deserve better...and you know it.

I might be speaking out of turn, and if I am, forgive me. It seems to me that you're staying, not out of love, but maybe you feel that you don't deserve better. Reading your poetry, I know in my heart that you do...and God knows it too.

Just for the record, my mom loved the man who beat, too. Yet, she knew
God had a better plan for her.

[elanor]

I wasn't writing about what I'm experiencing but what my mum is........and about staying..........I think I can try working it out before I leave. Thanks for the comment.

[seandavid]

I'll be keeping both of you in prayer...promise

I'm a young guy but I've seen a lot and I'm wise beyond my years. My philosophy on love though very very complicated at times boils down to crucial key elements; Trust; Communication; Happiness: and being Comfortable. I could and may write a book someday on the subject but that's the meat and potatoes of the topic. I believe that it is one's responsibility to their significant other to make them both Happy and Comfortable. If at anytime either of those feelings are in question then it should be communicated to the other by any method be it it verbal or physical. What I belive is that when a person beats on someone it's an effort to communicate and we can all agree that causing bodily harm is not necessarily the best way. In this circumstance it is plausible to believe that the woman in this relationship realizes this but has faith or trust that her husband would never harm her enough that A. she couldn't take it, and B. that he would never put her life at risk. So, though it may hurt her it's again plausible that this method of communication works for them. It's not our place to judge them although we are entitled to our opinions. This is especially for family members related to the topic, if in any way this behavior concerns you it's crucial to remember that you do have a voice and it can't be heard unless you speak. Again, I am only 21 years old but do take my words for what they're worth not by how many times they've been said.

[elanor]

For a 21 year old you sure have your way with words and yeah I sort of agree with you. Besides, God cant give us something thats too hard for us to handle. Instead he gives us only what we can stomach.Physical violent isn't as ugly us we portray it coz there's always something deeper beneath it all. You cant give up on what seems like real love without trying.

[seandavid]

I understand your thoughts, elanor and roetry. Being someone
who witnessed this up close and personal, I can tell you something
is being communicated...but it's not love. And if he truly loved her,
..then why does he continue to do it? A husband is supposed to
protect his wife, his bride...his own personal rose, given to him
by God.

Communication? Things aren't going my way, please stand there
so I can get out my frustrations with a stiff jab? Elanor, if you don't
think it's that bad, get in touch with one of those abuse centers, and
they'll not only tell you of the long term damage...but some will even
put you in contact with "survivors" who will tell you...it hurts.

Somehow, I don't think you've ever been slapped with an open palm
by a man whose been drinking or just simply has a bad day. It hurts,
it definitely is that bad. It's heartbreaking, but allowing this to continue,
isn't a show of love either. The simple truth is he does it, because he
can...and he'll continue until they both agree they need assistance or
God forbid, he goes too far.

If he has raised his hand once,...he has already gone too far.

No MAN, should ever strike a woman. You are made to be held
tenderly. God didn't form you, in the shape of a punching bag.
His word even talks about how precious is the heart and form of
a woman. Elanor, the question I have is...where's your mother's love
for herself? She deserves better as a woman, a person.

[seandavid]

All that to say this, "If she doesn't mind what's happening, then whatever
opinions we express...hardly matter."

[elanor]

Its the dead who know the secrete behind death so maybe whoever is going through all this knows it better than all of us. You know someone can love and hit you at the same time. Not because he likes it but because of his past. Maybe something went wrong somewhere and he became whatever he is at the moment. Maybe psychiatry + understanding(looking at the other persons point of view and not your own) + support + love and a lot of luck can make things all better.
