That's a beautiful poem about the tragedy of brutal husbands. Sad and emotionally expressed but I enjoyed the hope at the end and the fact that women are strong and able and can overcome it all by following our hearts rather than succumb to hate, sorrow and resentment. I feel that is what you expressed here.

I can't stand this kind of beatings and don't know why women stay. But then why did I stay in an emotionally abusing relationship? Not much difference I guess.

Your poem is wonderful and I wish I had a six left.

Hi Nassus,

Your poem reminds me of the husbands I had before but how they never worked out. I have been very happy to be alone for the last 40 years or so as none of them treated me right.

Dear friend, my abuse is more of emotional pain than physical abuse. But like you, I got back my pride and self-esteem in the early year of 2000, after 20 years of dead marriage. He is my first and last husband because I have not entertained the idea of marrying again. I am also living alone for 16 years now, but I am very active and still working full time. I will turn 59 this coming October. God bless my friend, Susan.
