Where does one go and what can one do, this wife he married is not the same words of support and love, replaced by abusive words bent on giving you shame the sun has turned into rain and you're caught, with nowhere to avoid getting wet ensnared in the web of her discontent, just holding your head down with regret You look toward compromise, hoping to work things out and make it right but you encounter resistance, she wants nothing but you out of her sight as words fall on deaf ears reality sets in, full of contrition and remorse making matters worse, she's on the warpath, focused on threatening divorce Looking at your young children, and the tears in their eyes, what they now see a crushed father, withdrawn from the world, only wanting to take them and flee but wisdom perseveres and silence overcomes, dumbstruck on what to do finally acknowledging, love that once was is no longer, your marriage is through Packing your bags this last time, as reflections of happier times pain your mind but trusting in G-d gives you the faith, to your predicament you are now consigned as days pass and the pain subsides, getting a handle on what was once your life recognizing the impossibility of any happiness in life, when a wife is bent on strife Not long after I met a woman, the epitome of everything good in the world to be found a woman full of of kindness whose words, as her love, were nothing short of profound coming full circle in my life, the challenges and tribulations have left me with no doubt choose a woman to love that has a truly sincere heart, and a faith in love that is devout

When Spousal Abuse Offends The Marriage Ends
Where does one go and what can one do, this wife he married is not the same words of support and love, replaced by abusive words bent on giving you shame the sun has turned into rain and you're caught, with nowhere to avoid getting wet ensnared in the web of her discontent, just holding your head down with regret You look toward compromise, hoping to work things out and make it right but you encounter resistance, she wants nothing but you out of her sight as words fall on deaf ears reality sets in, full of contrition and remorse making matters worse, she's on the warpath, focused on threatening divorce Looking at your young children, and the tears in their eyes, what they now see a crushed father, withdrawn from the world, only wanting to take them and flee but wisdom perseveres and silence overcomes, dumbstruck on what to do finally acknowledging, love that once was is no longer, your marriage is through Packing your bags this last time, as reflections of happier times pain your mind but trusting in G-d gives you the faith, to your predicament you are now consigned as days pass and the pain subsides, getting a handle on what was once your life recognizing the impossibility of any happiness in life, when a wife is bent on strife Not long after I met a woman, the epitome of everything good in the world to be found a woman full of of kindness whose words, as her love, were nothing short of profound coming full circle in my life, the challenges and tribulations have left me with no doubt choose a woman to love that has a truly sincere heart, and a faith in love that is devout
A sad poem regarding an abusive marriage and where it leads. Anyone who has (lived with, and/or) survived an abusive spouse might be able to relate.
