There was a day when all I could do was wish that I’d die

I begged for him to make it end, it was all in his hands

But something triggered in him and for once I was alone

There was silence , and strangely no fear……

Then I got the news, I was the only one who got a note

Which I have never read, I can only imagine

What it will say, how much he wished

That he could have all I’d had to give

What he didn’t understand was that

He did not have to rip it away

Eventually I’d have opened my heart

Instead he decided to take what was not his to have

Forever leaving a mark, that I can not erase

Forever scarred with his unwanted embrace

Makes clouds often cross my face

A mystery to most, as I can never ….

Find the words to say, how much he took away

He often left his mark, but bruises fade

It’s the memories that remain

The smell of his cologne

The taste of his gum

All forever changing the way,

I can look at the world

The rivers of tears that were cried

Wishing just once someone would ask why

Then that day came, many had passed

It was barely a memory

I could handle the smell of his cologne, the taste of his gum

I no longer wished that the end would come

I spent my time with a smile across my face

The future looked bright, and there was hope

That someday I just might, meet that someone

Who’s arms brought comfort, whose caress put me at ease

But in that fateful moment, the clouds returned

The world went dark, and now I must begin again

Slowly trying to erase the imprint of his unwanted embrace

I never thought, that when that returned that there would be someone

Who did not turn and run, but continued to ask why

The smile came back across my face, but the memory still haunts

My every thought, I can not close my eyes and not see his face

Time to take back the chase…..

I will not let him win

This world is a wonderful place with many too embrace.

I have lost so many, because I could not explain why

Now this time I will give it a try

As I think it may be worth the fight, because he simply asked why.

The clouds remain across my face

But the sun will shine again someday soon

Because for once I feel safe in an embrace.
