North Hollywood

This is the city...

where the abuse thickened

And the mythodical 

twisting 

of my mind

Held grasp

 

He poisoned me

 

And took control

of every aspect

Of my time

 

I was thriving when I met him

I had the greatest job in the world

I was building...

 my future

 

And he took my smile.

 

The real one.

 

As he called it fake.

 

But it was my glee...

My excitement 

My enthusiasm

 

 

He tore me down

Until I was 

worthy of nothing

 

As the hairs of my scalp

Dragged me across the room

 

 

 I worked 

to pay for His life

His hunger

His ego

 

Skin and bones

I Was starved

 

Barely even an ounce

Of affection 

 

And I

Loved that monster

 

That Jeckle an Hyde

 

And I hid that smile

 

The one wi

th all the light

 

To cover the tears

To hide the scars
