Best Emotional Abuse Poems


Emotional Abuse
Within the confines of the prison
Lies an abandoned soul
He’s looking through the shattered prism
For emotions to take hold

He’s searching for the pain and pleasure
To acquire a human form
Within the exploration
Begins the evil storm

Security is distant
And melancholy strikes
The victim is resistant
And hides his saddened eyes

The sense...

Emotional Abuse
If you draw your child away from normal play, activities and behaviour 
By forcing them to lie about their true desires, 
Then where’s the love?...

Emotional Abuse
Some how, you say that I'm the one to blame,
I deserved for you to treat me the way you did.
It was always my attitude that set you off.
Even though I was just a kid.

I'd cry myself to sleep at night,
Wishing, for all the pain to...

Emotional Abuse
Tears, Tears
Everywhere!
Pain, Pain
In her stomach!
He makes her 
Cry,
Every night..
But he won't
Lay a finger on her.
She's not happy
anymore!
She has to act 
As though she wants
To be there.
Her mom tries to see
The hurt in her eyes.
But she hides it very
Well.
She love him as she
Says.
But she can't take...

Premium Member Ascent From Misery
It’s a long slow trip into misery
It starts by putting that bad feeling aside


By narrowing your expectations
And removing all of your pride
 

And as you make you humble
You actually cripple as well
 

You reach so far to have someone else
That it actually puts you in...

Gaslighting
Gaslighting

Your words are etched deep into my skin,
They must have hurt, these scars,
But you told me they were beautiful, 
And I believed you.

Your accusations have ripped my flesh in,
My brain and heart, are stored in your jars,
But you said I was safe and beautiful,
And I...

I Loved You, I Love Me More
I used to love you
More than I loved myself
But our love took a dark turn
I cared for you, lied for you
Even stood in front of a bullet
I would have died for you
Without a second thought
See,
There's grave danger in putting someone else before you
Because it means...

Modern Love
“I’m scared to love you, please don’t hurt me”
New and exciting
Two hearts longing for one another 
Hips colliding 
Every laugh, every kiss, every hug
You 
Me 
Us

“You’re the only one I want, forever”
My heart is now two 
The other half was in you
Forever we said 
No...

The Silent Treatment
The silent treatment

Stunned silence,
After that first sweet kiss,
Blissful silence,
Cuddled by love's soft fire,
Angry silence,
Something is amiss,
Endless silence,
Does he not tire?
Screaming in silence,
Breath choked to a hiss,
Shocked silence,
At the funeral pyre....

Worthless Addict Bxxxx
I'm not worthless,
I know my worth
and I'm not worth less.
I'm an addict,
not addicted.
I may be a b!#@h,
but I'm not stuck in insanity anymore.
I know that in my core.
Worthless Addict B!#@h is what you called me,
slinging insults was your nitch.
Everyone else could see
how mean you were...

To My Knees I Drop
when will the misery dissapear,
why cant i just block the terrors out?
my life will never be clear,
my words are never heard even if i shout,
the pain of a thousand spears,
i've drifted from the correct route,
subdue the tears,
i've lost what my life's about,

i've been walking this...

A Dying Widow
i can taste her on your lips.
the stain from her lipstick is
infused to the fibers on your
white work shirt.
I'm guessing the color is cherry red.
the scent of her perfume
weakens my stomach,
knots my heart,
takes every hope i had
of our future and turns it into mud,
blood boiling...
