Deceptive release

 Deceptive release

Dark thoughts consume her every waking hour

Like a torrential downpour her emotions seem to flood over

From dark of night to the all revealing light of day

She asks herself, why it had to be this way?

She screams out for release from this pain

She pleads to be freed from the torture she experiences

Every single day of her life

She wonders what there is for him to gain

From always appearing to be so dashing, so charming

Whereas she alone knows the true man

She has encountered his true heart, his dark soul

She has been on the receiving end of his vengeful demeanor

Outward appearances do not often reveal the true person

Yet this is what everyone of us accept without questioning

The underlying truth of who the person really is

As she did when she met him

A lesson valuably learnt by her of this you can be sure

For she will never openly trust again

She will never open her heart and expose her soul

She will not reveal her true feeling to anyone

For after all was said and done, she was the one

Who was left with pieces of a desecrated life?

To somehow put back together, to try and rebuild

A meaningful existence, for this she is still striving

After all this time, one would think that

Her pain has eased somewhat.

But how can one just get over the pain

Of having loved someone so much

To only find one fine morning, you are suddenly

Not allowed to love that person any longer

By their say so, you are now to just turn this love off

As though it were a switch that can be altered

Maybe for others in the world this feat is feasible

But for her, a woman who loved him so completely

This will not be alright, and it will take a long time

For her to undo and erase all the love she once felt
