How long before you see

Women need to be strong and seek help before its too late.

How long before you see
The pain you're causing me..

How long before you see
The scars on my fragile body..

How long before you see
The torture I've suffered endlessly..

How long before you see
That dead I'd rather be..

How long before you see
My heart yearns to be free.

How long before I see
One more strike and you'll kill me..

Great piece of work my friend, such a poignant subject you wrote and share...I can understand that type of men who can be beast, only weak men act in such manner. Strong men only provide respect, care and take responsibility of their women and families...be safe and happy my friend...

[Frieda P]

Happens all too often, takes tons of courage to get out of a tormented relationship as such, I watched my mother endure it for years, good you shine a positive albeit sad light upon this ruthless behavior.

[Angie G]

Thank you Miss Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Was my pleasure, tough read, but someone has to write it...good on you!

[Angie G]

Yeah, but sometimes those hard words to say bring comfort to those who can't speak outta fear.

[Frieda P]

I think it's a good thing that women know there is hope....those who can relate might see it that way.

A very sad but lovely piece. Well penned :)

[wordman]

this is certainly a sad write it happens everyday how long will it take your friend to see
a young woman was killed by her husband in front of there children here just last year
it is a sickness that has to be dealt with and separation is the first step

[Angie G]

Very true.. and she did gather courage and left the monster she had as a husband, but the scars in her heart will take a lifetime to heal.

[wordman]

yes t will but the worse thing is letting him come back you have to see this as a sickness
or it will come back to haunt you

[Angie G]

Totally agree.. that's when friends n family comes in.. We have to be there to support her and let her know she's a better person without him..

[Angie G]

This is not my case but a friend told me her story and it shocked me.
