<title>Battery</title>
<link>http://www.zorpia.com/poetryprincess3/journal/1678056</link>
<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;This poem a is not based on my reality. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;However, it does portray, as much as it is able, the suffering and confusion one feels when in an abusive relationship, or when being abused even by a stranger though, I imagine, it must feel worse when being abused by someone you know and, possibly, love.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;A photograph can never reveal the emotions an abused person feels and neither can a pen write... but some of us make an attempt for the purpose of trying to imagine how a person may feel in a given set of circumstances because we empathize with you.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;If this poem demonstrates your life and portrays a fraction of what you feel, don&#x27;t keep it bottled up inside. Find help...because you are not alone.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;div align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;img vspace=&#x22;0&#x22; hspace=&#x22;0&#x22; border=&#x22;0&#x22; align=&#x22;bottom&#x22; src=&#x22;http://org23.zorpia.com/0/3057/19567579.bfaaa2.jpg&#x22; /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;/div&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;</description>

<title>Longing</title>

<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;
Longing

&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;While longing,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I wait for you;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Yearn to gaze&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Into your eyes.

&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Long to hold,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;To kiss and hug;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;To count toes.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;It&#x27;s no surprise.

&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Rocking you&#x3C;br /&#x3E;To sleep at night&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Is a dream&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Carried inside.

&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Loving you&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Comes easily.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;You&#x27;re still alive.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I heave a sigh.

&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Today is good.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I feel at peace.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Joy abounds&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Within my soul...

&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;But night falls&#x3C;br /&#x3E;And then I find&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Alone, again,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I dream inside...
