Trauma is Attractive to Abusers

Right a three line poem why

Hurt people 
Keep
Revenge dear

(Taking the liberty of placing the thread title above the text.)

This is remarkably pithy, read in different ways and variously segmented.  For example, taking each of the three lines as a separate answer to the title/first line question ("hurt people," "keep" (something to remember), "revenge dear" (for being... what, younger, actually beloved).  Or shuffled and combined, as "keep revenge dear" - make it expensive (old meaning of "dear"), or "hurt people keep" (the treasured, uncomplaining or afraid to tell).  I infer a comma after "Right."

The poem can even be segmented down to individual words, "Revenge" and "dear" as independent concepts (if "abuse" is taken in its broader, less violent meaning this may be genuine though horribly misguided affection).

On top of, or beneath, the superficially bad spelling ("right" for "write") and disconnected words suggest emotional breaks and stress.

(A weird thought:  adding a final word, one line:  "Reap" - but then no longer three lines.)

A lot in there.  Good job.
