“Your Turn” – A Poem About Domestic Violence & Abuse – by Lesley M. Patterson AKA Lady Opaque
Why do you make me feel this way?
Like a shadow in the night, you’ve robbed the light of day.
I long for this to be a dream, it all seems so surreal,
but I’m lodged here in this Hell, with the rotten end of the deal.
My friends all tried to warn me, they advised me to just leave,
To believe in us, our future, and our life together.
Now I’m caught without an umbrella in this stormy weather.
My nerves are as taut as rubber bands,
as I walk down the street, seeing happy couples holding hands.
I gave you all I had to give, and this is what I receive?
Your lies, your hate, and our attempts to deceive?
Well, this is the end, our last and final goodbye,
