in hell

A kind face, but so displaced, yet I hide it well

Heart so broken words unspoken, how could I kiss?

And tell,

Who would believe, the hurt that weaved itself

Around my mind

How the devil in female form, treated me unkind.

Mentally and physically I suffered through the years

Accepted what was given, until the inward tears

Built up inside of me like a tidal wave of pain,

Drowned out the reality that I could ever love again.

So besotted with this girl, like a trophy on my arm put her on a pedestal, a princess free from harm,

But all that glitters is not gold, she turned my heart to

Rust

And all my dreams and wishes, she watched them turn to dust.

So blinkered, so in love, although she beat me black

And blue

Hoping she would change, is all that I could do, yet she was slowly killing me, but I didn't realize until one day in the mirror I opened up my eyes,

To see my face staring back at me, but a shadow of a

Man

That I used to be, before all this began.

My inner voice spoke to me, saying it's time to let her

Go

Walk away whilst you still can, for your spirit is so

Low,

From all the years of holding on to this fairy tale in

My head

But my princess turned into the wicked queen, who had me nearly dead.

Therefore, I left leaving her everything, she thought she

Had won it all

But material things do not matter, when saving your own soul.

Life hasn't been very kind to me, even from an early

Age

I have been nothing but a tiny bird, locked within a cage.

Now the time has finally come to spread my broken

Wings

So I can heal, so I can feel, I hope that life will bring, everything I have ever wished for, to find someone

Who will love me well?

Love me like I am in Heaven, not love me like I am in Hell.
