Domestic Disease

I look in the mirror and see

A stranger looking back at me

Two swollen, sunken, bleary eyes

Two voids, a soul, mired by lies

The cause of this it would seem

A man, a love, a hopeless dream

He walked away from this supreme

And took away my self esteem 

Suffered for a love so fleeting

Wore the shame of every beating

Voice of reason clear as mud 

Tears eventually replaced with blood

How can you teach blind love to see

For I know him and I are not meant to be

I stand here taunted, belittled, broken

And yet not another word was spoken

poem

  Stand tall dear. You can recover. Just never let that dog around you again for a second chance. Put that one behind you. There will be another time, another place, and someone will love you. If one ever hits me his ass is in deep trouble.  Good luck and blessings.

I hope for your health and well being you have a restraining order, and a big ole mean dog!

That Rat Bastard!

Peace
