How Did You Feel

Big Tough Man

By Carolann DowsettPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

How did you feel 

when you knocked me down 

did your heart feel  proud 

Did you laugh out loud 

as I fell to the ground 

Hitting the floor

without a sound 

As you trampled my body

in the pale moonlight 

Danced with the devil 

in the shadows of the night 

As I laid in the stench 

of your wicked deceit

Cold and broken 

lost in defeat 

Were you proud of yourself 

when your fists hit my flesh 

When you strangled me 

until I was close to death

Did you feel like a man 

when you stole my breath 

When my face turned blue 

and my strength had left 

How does it feel 

knowing I'd be dead

From the drug induced madness 

flowing through your head 

If it wasn't for the one 

who rescued me 

Who broke down the door 

and set me free

How would it feel

to have my blood on your hands 

Would you feel real proud 

like a big tough man 

Instead of the pathetic creature 

that you really are 

Just a  low life coward 

who likes to leave scars 

sad poetry
