Your brutal indiscretion

Your brutal indiscretion

Words of love left unsaid

Words that should have been spoken

Were left out in the cold void instead

Causing a heart to be so carelessly broken

Changes constantly were made

In both personality and actions

Leaving her feeling so afraid

That she would never meet your satisfactions

She never really succeeded did she?

Your brutality was proof of this

No matter how subtle she tried to be

You were always so quick to dismiss

All her efforts, all her love

All this done in vain

Eventually all this brought her

Was a constant heart wrenching pain

This pain felt emotionally

To the core of her very being

This pain felt physically

After each blow from you once loving hands

The first blow left her reeling

The second left her bruised

The third left her broken

The final found her pleading

A plea which you ignored

A plea that fell on deaf ears

One that for her still echoes

And will do so for many years

You nearly succeeded in breaking her will

You nearly won dominion over her body

But you never gained guardianship

Over her spirit or her soul

Do you think back on those times?

Do you even recall, the damage you inflicted

Your present actions display that in fact you do not at all

The day will come, your moment will arrive

When you will cling to all you hold dear

Just to keep your spirit alive

And when this moment comes to light

When her past becomes your present

Ask yourself one question

Will you have the her strength and dignity,

Will you possess the iron will to fight and survive?
