Abuser of the Worst Kind

You are an abuser of the worst kind.
You left her body in tact,
And damaged her mind.
She bears scars the eye can't see.
The pain she carries,
It's heavy and deep.
You kicked her love all over the place.
You slapped her security,
And threw trust in her face.
You spat on her confidence,
And beat down her spirit.
You exploited her kindness.
You preyed on her loyalty.
You broke a strong woman.
You treated her grossly.
Yes, you are an abuser of the worst kind.
You leave the body in tact,
And you damage the mind.
