You drove me to madness
you stripped me bare
you left me with nothing
you were the worst pair.
I gave you the world
spent every dollar I had
I gave you my heart
but you treated me bad
You raped me with lust
it made me sick to the gills
I loathed you so much that
I took a bunch of pills
I would take a shower
and you'd get in with me
I felt every touch
"can't you let me be?"
I cleaned every dish
I painted your nails
you told me you'd love me
even when all else fails
I believed your words
I believed every lie
but when night time fell
I just wanted to die
for you used me for sex
to satisfy your needs
oh, I hated your hands
doing those dirty deeds
I wanted to leave
and never return
I wanted you to suffer
"in hell you shall burn"
but now I live free
of those strangled holds
I now live to be me
as a new story unfolds

MAY BE TRIGGERING! This describes the times living with my ex-sister-in-law and her husband. They were not only sexually abusive, but physically and mentally as well.

Man, that is awful. You've been through a lot. Like another commenter stated, it's like a twisted Cinderella. I could not say it any clearer than that. You did a profound job at retelling the story to the point it is shown precisely to the reader. Rather than leaving out the detail, you step up to the plate and say what there is to say. Strong words, hun.
Thanks for your entry.
