Tears dripping
Blood draining
she was soaking
In the tub and crying
Her wounds were hurting
Every dusk, every dawn
His fist was his weapon
Battering was his art
His regrets
He gave her as gifts
The sorry word was her mantra
She chanted, meditated
And prayed
And hoped
He would change
Until the last sound he heard was a blow
It triggered a mass flow
of blood.. spilling on the floor
It diminished her glow forever
His last gift to her was a wreath on her grave
-aidillicmusings
Dedicated to victims/souls lost to domestic violence

Your abusive partner doesn't have a problem with his anger; he has a problem with your anger. One of the basics human rights he takes away you is the right to be angry with him no matter how badly he treats you, he believes that your voice shouldn't rise and your blood shouldn't boil. The privilege of rage is reserved for him alone. When your anger does jump out of you-as will happen to any abused woman from time to time- he is likely to jam it back down your throat as quickly as he can. Then he uses your anger against you to prove what an irrational person you are. Abuse can make one feel straitjacketed. You may develop physical or emotional reactions to swallowing your anger such as depression, nightmares, emotional numbness or eating and sleeping problems.. which your partner may use as an excuse to belittle you further or make you feel crazy.(Culled from Lundy Bancroft-WHY DOES HE DO THAT?:INSIDE THE MINDS OF ANGRY AND CONTROLLING MEN)
