“Love Made Her Fight For Her Life”
Love made her fight for her life
Her heart is a block of ice
The bruises from her lover’s fist
She told love she had to call it quits
Love is suppose to comfort you
Protect you and keep you safe
She felt like love kept her in a cage
There was nowhere to run and hide when her lover went into a rage
The lies she had to tell
She was going through hell
Her eyes were swollen shut
Bruised with stitches and cuts
How could she endure this abuse?
She blamed herself for everything
Trying not to make him mad
She had to find a way to escape
Before she ended up dead
No one should be treated like that
Love is not suppose to kill you
She doesn’t want love anymore
Her memories are painful and sore

Our featured poet for the month of December and January is: Cedric Henderson!
What I really liked about this poem was that in even a short few lines, Cedric really captured the idea that you should love on yourself above all else. That even though it won’t be easy, it is extremely important. He even entices the reader with the qualification in his title, “4 the people who want to heal.” Who wouldn’t want to read a poem after reading that? This is fantastic work, and I strongly encourage everybody to go check out his book.
