Wake Up Call

There was a time when we could just

Sit and lough,

Or even go wine and dine

Without worrying about the bill amount.

There was a time when we could

Take long strolls to the park,

Or even go on little nature trail walks.

 

Then that time soon changed

It was as if I was stuck in a mirage,

Where you had no imperfections

Filling my soul with genuine belief.

 

Truth be told

I was getting manipulated,

I wasn’t that precious pearl

That you made me out to be.

I was more like your personal toy,

Did everything you asked.

 

That was until you laid your hands on me

Then calling me every name in the book.

You put my body into shock,

Not knowing whether to tell you

I HATE YOU,

Or to act like it never took place,

And all you could do was say sorry Babe

While watching these tears leave my face.

 

It took two more times for me to notice,

That this ongoing pain would not stop

And saying I LOVE YOU wouldn’t quite do it,

I was being physically and mentally abused.

 

It seemed like the only right thing to do

Was to walk away,

With so much anger and pain

Built inside of me.

 

It felt like a weight was being lifted off my back,

And that two year nightmare slowly eased

Stilling haunting me inside at times

Giving me no choice

But to always have my guard up,

From here on out

Every flaw was seen in my eyes

And I knew I deserved better.
