Like a stormy sea
Your anger crashes against me
Throwing my emotions overboard
And whilst I am dazed and confused
You seize your opportunity
And batter me
With that strength
Once more.

BAM! This poem has resonance and sad power. "And batter me" Unbelievable timing with that line.
I actually think you can lose "With the strength." It seems unnecessary. You've established the raw power of this force. I actually think you should consider just ending it with "And batter me." You've already suggested the unstoppable relentlessness of the beatings.
Nice extended metaphor here. It's short and simple, but effective. One suggestion, may want to change 'With that strength' to 'With intensity' and it would stick into the rhyme scheme a little more. Works well as is though, a good read.
