Dating Abuse

You look at me, but do you see me? You listen to me, but do you hear me ? Crying out for help from the pounding of my heart when he caresses me, or when his fist is pounding against my face. I'm alone I feel , with nowhere to go or hide. I love him and i know that he loves me too, he just gets angered because I have such stupidity that I anger him to the point to pounce on me like a lion on his prey. Is it because Ive watched mymother get abused by many men, or is it the needed to keep someone who seems to e interested in me at the moment. I never want to be alone, cold as stone with no one to hold me. He doesnt mean it I swear , he loves me . Right ? You look at me, but do you see me ? You listen to me, but do you hear me ?
