Dear Hennessy

Dear Hennessy,

Why must you come between my relationship

Why must you poison the mind of the man I love?

Becoming a monster when he is drunk

Trepidation engulfs me when I see those blood strain eyes looking back at me

Preparing myself for this verbal beaten when I hear anger in his speech

Tears rolling down my face

A cry for him to see I am not his enemy

Saying a silent prayer,

"God please help me to only see the good in this man.

Please reveal to him, my heart is in his hands."

 

Trying not to let this pain turn into hate

Telling myself, "You need to have faith.

For tomorrow will bring the man you love."

How can I forget those words lingering in my mind?

Scattering my heart every time

Fighting to hold on to my love

my passion

my admiration

for the man who lives within me

but I only feel disgust

 

 I see only a beast who's words pierced through me as if I was nothing

I know his love is true

but his love for you, Hennessey is far greater

I guess you do for him what I can not do

For you're his ammunition while I am under attack

I am the target

his words are the weapons

you're his strength

his encouragement to go round for round

I'm too tired no point in yelling at the top of my lungs

I have did nothing wrong

Looking at this broken man and feeling nothing but pity

Hoping he see that you're the true enemy

but nothing I say seem to convince this man to

give up on you

So I made a hard decision to leave him alone with you

because it was you he chose

This is definitely a heartfelt write. As painful as it was for you, to experience this and then write about it only proves that you are the true victor here; and a phenomenal one to boot! Write on, write on, write on!
