Because I loved him
He didn’t hit me
But he told me I wasn’t good enough
He didn’t hit me
But he screamed in my face, until I was in tears
He didn’t hit me
But he pushed me against a wall
He didn’t hit me
But with his fist a few inches from my face, he threatened to
Until one day he hit me
He hit me
And I kept it quiet
He hit me
And I forgave him
He hit me
And I apologised for making him mad
He hit me
While I was begging him to stop
I let him hit be
Because I loved him
About this poem
This poem is about young girls being blinded, by not only physical abuse but buy mental about too, because they love someone so much that they don’t notice their faults. The aim of this poem is to show that a lot of young girls are very impressionable by their partner or boys in general and will believe it is their fault or that they deserve to be treated a certain way just because someone said so.
