Why Does He Hurt?

Abuse

By Shaqueda HamiltonPublished 7 years ago 1 min read
They say when it rain it pours.

I don’t know why but I know how every time it never fails. He always hurt.

Why?

I don’t understand but I know something is wrong because he always hurt.

Whether it’s his hands or his tongue there is no cure when dealing with him because he always hurt.

Why?

I know I love him with all my heart but he never tries to understand; He never tries to talk.

Yelling and punching is his motto does he care that he always hurt? I wonder inside what am I doing wrong or what can I do to save him because he always hurt.

I grew not to fear the thought of having to leave but I know if I were going to do so I would have to be smart because if he found out surely it would hurt; He would hurt.

I finally smartened up and realized he hurts because it’s from the inside. It’s not to be discovered until he’s ready. It’s my time to fight back not with my fists or tongue but with my actions.

I’m gone and hidden away from him. Now he knows he always hurt.
