the chill sound of his words
as they spill from his mouth
leave me cold and empty
afraid of the sound

the warmth from his eyes
has faded away
like a flame that will flicker
and eventually stray

he stares through me
as if I were glass
the words beat me
my ears they do smash

as tears fall to the floor
from my eyes to my face
the stare grows harder
filled with much more than hate

my eyes see but my ears
do not hear
the words being spoken
fall on death ears

all I can see is no love
in his eyes
and the fear of the words
start welling inside

the fear comes up sudden,
bewildered, and strong
and makes me feel childlike...
Oh, where have I gone

why can't he see the cold
he displays
shouting and yelling,
...the bully's at play

the attacks are all words
there's no marks to hide
tommorrow will heal the hurt
that's inside

Very well spoken. I am someone who at one point in my life believe that I was the very person that you speak of. It was not that I wanted to be that way, nor was I raised to be. There are multiple excuses I could use, but none of them would be able to be equal to the amount of pain that I am very aware now that I must have caused. Reading poetry like this makes me very proud to tell everyone who I USED TO BE and very proud of myself for Learning how to be a better person to my wife, because ultimately she is the one who took all of the abuse that I gave verbally and I am now forever indebted to her for allowing me to see what my life was worth. you have a great way with words keep up the good work it always pays off in the end if nothing more then to release what ever it is inside of you that has to come out. Sorry for the Ramblin'
