It may be because you love me so,
that all I do is all I know.
It may be because you hate me so,
that I've learned, a friend's a foe.
It may be because you treasure me so,
that my skin flushes with an iridescent glow.
It may be because you hurt me so,
that my voice trembles, in a state of woe.
It may be because you inspire me so,
that I've become stronger, and learned to grow.
It may be because you beat me so,
that I cower daily, and fear every blow.

It may be because I love you so,
that my heart can't rest,
and let you go.

Thanks for the comment :)

I absolutely agree with you though. I've never had an abuse relationship of any sort, but I've seen it happen, and heard stories, and I hoped that this could reach out to some people.

"Don't cry that it's over, smile because it has happened."

wow, you're a great writer! i love the way the rhyme worked. sometimes, authors get so caught up in making the verses rhyme that they lose the meaning of the actual poem. well you didnt seem to have a problem with that! it takes a true writer to be able to do that.

check out some of my work, too if you'd like. great job on this! keep writing!!(:

Really sad. But this kind of stuff happens all over. I like the way you word it. Keep writting.
