The message is the same stuff different day of a bad relationship. I should know, haha.
you did a good job creating the scenario. I feel it could have a better choice of words or ways to say the same thing.
Good luck in the contest.

I guess this is common for abused wives and
girlfriends to stay with the abuser. It is hard
to understand why. Sometimes out of fear, I think.
Your poem describes the situation well with strong
rhyming couplets.

I guess they have very low self esteem. Some even think it's their fault. It's sad. Many thanks for the review.

Author--Scribe's synopsis, title, artwork, theme and poetic
details are classic symptoms of a sad epidemic with total
disregard for any other characteristics than the victims
being females (85%). A comprehensive listing of what these
women go through or put up with "To Love a Loser." Good
luck with this well written reality piece in the contest.

It's a sad reality that anyone thinks they have to put up with something like that. Many thanks for reviewing.

You are welcome. I agree, it's quite a mystery and we probably will never come
up with a definitive answer.

This is just sick.....she clings to the abusive man as if her life depends on it when it's the other way around...............her life depends on an abuser's whim..............
Well done

It's horrible, but it's all too common. Many thanks for the review.
Comment from Gungalo
He's a danger to both life and limb
Her life depends on an abuser's whim.
As a family tries to set things right
She clings to her man with all her might.
Each one is different but each one lacks the personal care for themselves. If they cared enough about themselves they would not take it even once.

Comment from Cookie333
I just wrote a piece about abuse, and it feels to me like it's not about what she sees as much as it is about his control, with no money and no self esteem-many choose to stay and the cycle continues on...
thank you and best of luck in the prompt,
karen

You're probably right. These guys tend to isolate their victims and all they hear is what the abuser says. Many thanks for the review and good wishes in the contest.
Comment from Rmocruz
You have masterfully satisfied the writing prompt with this sad abusive scenario. This is solidly rhymed and simply
worded to present the message with clarity. An effective employment of metaphor as well.
A well written worthy entry.

Comment from cinderbella
This is very well written and sometimes I felt you were actually writing about me. For me, it was a long time before I could leave because I felt it was my failure, that I could not make things right. Everything he did and said told me it was my fault, until I began to believe it.
You have described it very well. :) Ssndra

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Best of luck to you in the future. Many thanks for the review.

OUTSTANDING WORK!!! This actually reminds me of Pearl Jam's "Jeremy". It was about a child's suicide in front of a classroom Eddie Vedder saw in a newspaper. Yes, you leave a loser, not love a loser.

Thanks for the six! These situations are devastating for the whole family. Many thanks for this fabulous review.
Comment from ravenblack
Good use of rhythm and rhyme. In matters of the heart, the head is often the loser. People with low self-esteem often fall for someone who is bad for them - a manipulator or abuser. No one should rely on another for complete happiness. Happiness must come from within to be shared. Needless to say, the woman in your poem needs to leave.

It was sad. The family wanted to help, but he kept her isolated most of the time. Many thanks for the review.
