Well done. The bitter resentment shows through well. You have chosen your words well. Very descriptive and a very sad commentary on verbal abuse and its results. Good job!

Relationship with a bully is dangerous. Too many questions and too few answers to keep harmony. Best to get out. You've described it well in your poem. The artwork is perfect to accompany it. Marilyn

Too many people go through this. Yet for reasons only they know, they stay. You give good advice, and I hope it, and my poem help someone. Your review and 5 stars are kind and appreciated
Comment from Commando
An excellent post, my friend! Good flow and repetition of similar sounds. In reference too: 2nd stanza, line 2, "You never make any (you're better than this) sense." I'd use another word, and then remove the "WARNING." Different strokes, for different folks! Hope Santa fills your stocking "plum full" and your heart with the Spirit of Christmas, Respectfully, Bill (Junglefighter).

That word 2nd liner 2nd stanza is literal speech which is used. Thank you for the compliment anyway. Also, I appreciate the great rating.

The objective correlative of the poem is a reminisces a question and exchange by a couple who have no love lost between them. The work constitutes a replication of the contest requirements for the Question Poetry Contest.
Excellent work!Bravo!

An excellent poem meeting the demands of a difficult prompt. The poetry isn't pretty but it's appropriate to the interaction. I saw lots of this in fifty years of couples psychotherapy. Call it projective identification. The hated trait of the self is projected onto the partner where it is bullied, attacked and humiliated. Congratulations on a lively portrayal of vitriol. Mike1817

I am honored that someone with experience in counseling gave me such great feedback. It was cathartic in many ways. The sad part is that the emotional target often blames and berates self as well. Apologies to the bully only signal vulnerability for more. Thank you so much
