    Broken

    A man alone, A man unheard
    never to speak a word
    He is a dream, a figment
    of what he used to be

    A man is married, he does not care
    She is his to own
    He torments her, all the time
    An illusion, of what he was

    A mirror is broken, a mirror is shattered
    Pieces of him on the floor
    He is shattered, he is broken
    nothing but a dream

    He is shattered, he is broken
    he lies on the floor
    The pieces of him, what he was
    before he took a drink

    He beats her often, he beats her hard
    She is always afraid
    He tries to change; He won't change
    And yet she wants to stay

    "I love him so, I love him so"
    Is all she ever says
    Beat her rough, beat her hard
    So she'll finally leave

    You loved him then, you hate him now
    You are wising up
    He hit you then, you shot him now
    You are finally safe

    The courts hate you, I love you
    this is our debate
    They let you free, you go with me
    You are finally safe.

    wow, heavy poem. Goes right to the heart of both alcoholism and spousal abuse. Would love to read more of your poems

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
