Theres no escape
From you
The love I have
For you
Is my jailor

I want to run
Run from the torment
From you...

But I stay
In the hope
Things will improve

I have...
No where else to go...

This poem was written by a friend who also endured the pain of domestic abuse.   Her words in this poem sum up the exact feelings of the victim in this situation....   I felt like this and I'm sure many others do too.
But it won't chage - he won't change....leave while you still can.
