But She Loves Him Though


It all starts with love Or should one call it lust The man brings flowers and everything above, LOVE He makes the relationship feel as if it is filled with TRUST The woman is in love, dangerously in LOVE Something is not right though; her face is bruised She thinks “How can someone love someone like him?” Her mind is confused but SHE loves him though. She stays with him because he has her heart He treats her like dirt; she’s falling apart Her love for him is TOO deep; she can’t dare let go How can one love someone who feels like a foe? But SHE loves him though. He continues to hit, beat, then kiss her goodnight But there’s never a good night when it ends with a fight She tries to act smart and pack up and leave He can’t have that loss; it’s too much to grieve If he can’t have her, no one can She continues because she’s tired of being less than So he decides to take matters into his own hands Like he said, “If I can’t have you, no one can” He continues to bring her flowers But her love cannot grow The love turned to lust She can no longer trust She will never have a beau For so long she’s just gone with the flow She’s no longer treated like a slave Nor will she ever be brave Because she’s dead lying in her grave BUT she LOVED him though.

I like to think deeper when it comes to poetry, and I like to put myself in others' shoes to see my outcome and theirs on things. This particular poem was entered into a contest about Violence in Dating Relationships. Hope you enjoy!
