"FACINGFACES 2002 - 04" SELECTED POETRY (Part 2)

I am waiting till he loves me

I am waiting till he loves me.
Because I know that he will.
He treats me really bad
but sometimes he treats me like a queen.
I am embrassed to say
it does more bad than good
but he will cave
someday
I prayed that he would.

My friends tell me
I am crazy
because they say
they wouldn't stay.
But they are not in my shoes
so they wouldn't know what to do.
Sure I am emotionally on life support
but it will all end
because one day
he is going to love me
I guess.
Yes, he will.

Thank you doctor,
for listening.
Sure he hits me
but he cares.
I know you think
I should leave him
before he kills me one day.
But don't you know that I need him?

People just dont understand
I love him
and that's all there is to it.
One day
I will be ok.
The day when he will love me


But I love him

"But I love him.
My heart wants to hate you
But I can't.
I hate what you did
But I love you still"

is the mind of a woman
that is being abused every day
either mentally or physically
she is shattered and lonely
scared to move on.
She is trying to escape
the thoughts in her mind.
Her self-esteem is damaged.
In her eyes she feels like she is nothing
and no one can change it.
So she stays with the one that
doesn't love
because she believe there is no other
no matter what he does.
Her frame of mind is on
"But I love him"
