I haven't been the same since
That day so long ago.
The things he took and the pain he gave,
I think that people should know.
He stole my dignity from me.
He beat me down till I couldn't fight.
What little innocence I had left,
Was stolen from me that dreadful night.
I should have seen it coming.
I should have known before.
I should have seen it coming!
And gone right out the door.
But love blinds people
And that was the first time I knew.
The first time I finally realized:
Long ago we should have been through.
I haven't been the same since
That day so long ago.
I'd only told a few till now.
But everyone should know.
Author notes
This is another piece from Creative Writing this past semester. We were given the first line as a prompt and told to go any direction we wanted with it. It's obviously about an ex of mine. He hurt me in many ways and this is an expression of it. This was written almost two years after everything that happened with him.

Stanzas are your friends. Some of the rhyming seems forced here. Very emotional and strong write, but you couldwork on those little things and it would be so much better.
