There’s a darkness that runs…
Through each memory…
A numbness that blunts…
All the pictures she sees…
Moments carefully captured…
Times that were shared…
But the sadness behind them…
No one could be aware…
As the version presented…
Hides the true horror story…
The day to day reality…
Hides in her untold history…
As nobody really knew…
And no one really saw…
The monster he became…
The viciousness in his claw…
As he hid it so well…
He turned on the charm…
Dazzled those around him…
Whilst he inflicted the harm…
Behind closed, locked doors…
There was agony and pain…
He left unseen bruises…
And scars just the same…
He reigned in pure terror…
Silenced any form of dissent…
With a violence erupting…
From that mild mannered gent…
He was both Jekyll and Hyde…
She could never escape…
And she paid so dearly…
For each and every mistake…
When she spoke out of line…
When she acted out of turn…
A low punch was punishment…
Or a well hidden cigarette burn…
And when he finally passed…
His ghost still remained…
Now any photo she sees…
Brings back all her pain…

I know all about heartache, I understand the feeling of failure when you let them go. It’s much worse to hold onto something broken than to let go of someone who can’t wait to leave. Much better to make a clean break and get on with your life than it is to ponder what went wrong, Sing a sad song then let go of your regret and negativity start singing your own happy song and feel like you belong in this world again xo
Thanks for your insightful comment Dave, much appreciated – Cheers J
