Insideously creeping under
your blanket of trust,
expounding his virtues one by one
He begins by "protecting" you
from real and imagined harm,
and then claims to be
protecting you from yourself.
Slowly, he takes over
until your thoughts are
no longer your own -
projecting with a look,
a touch . . .
then a fist
his displeasure
of anything that is solely of you.
The warmth, the cuddling
is begrudgingly withheld
until you toe his line
and stand on HIS mark
You die a little
everytime you bite you tongue
or swallow your pride
or try to justify
(for the sake of the children)
his fits and fists of rage.
No longer yourself
the fire feeds in your belly
and clouds your vision
until
the only way out
that you can see
is around him, or through him
but *AWAY* from him
no matter what, or who it takes!
A bullet or a court of law
there is no doubt in your mind
that he is a poison
corroding your heart
your mind
and your soul.
