frozen with fear
stumbling naked in the darkness
dreading his return
praying for this to subside
crying for help
touched by acid rain
begging for mercy
consumed by his ignorance
raped by his distorted views
lost in his dysfunctional world
dressed as a different woman
confused about what went wrong
asking why
hearing his bullshit excuses
wondering how things will end
hating him and all that support him
craving vengeance
weighing the consequences
feeling alone
running from reality
drinking to drown him out
leaving behind the important things
denying what happened
trying to cope
learning to live again
moving on slowly
excusing him for his stupidity
suffering each day because of him
growing up to prevent a reoccurrence
Spring 1996
Very powerful!
