A Year Ago Today - - - 10.09.07

A year ago today you took my heart

my  m i n d

my  s o u l

And torn them all to pieces,

You took my trust,

my  l o v e ,

my  h o p e

And the thought of others love,
And turned it
to dust.

You ripped my world
a

p

a

r

t
with no hope of me pulling it back together.

You didn’t even realise,
or have any thought of consequence,
Of how you could affect me,

my  l i f e ,

my  m i n d

and my future relationships.
But I wonder, maybe you did realise,
maybe you

just

didn’t

care.

They say people who sexually abuse women
Are substance abusers,

deranged,

or psychopaths,

but you, you fall into your own category
the

the

the deceivable one.

You appeared weak and dependent,

I  t r u s t e d  you, 

r e l i e d  on you,

Told you my  d e e p e s t  fears,
and allowed you access to the vastly

i n t i m a t e

i n n e r m o s t

and  h i d d e n  part of my mind.

A year ago today you  c r u s h e d  me

T a i n t e d  me

                d  me

and ultimately made me question everything that was me.

A year ago today I was weak.

I    s      u      b    l    d    without someone to hold me up
        t      m    b    e

When I  f e l l  someone was not always there to catch me

I  c r i e d,

I  s c r e a m e d

I  b e g g e d

For my life to end.

It didn’t,
Not for lack of trying.

A year ago today I was controlled,
By people

Like

You.

Today I have a strength people only dream of possessing,
I  l o v e  and am granted love in return.
I struggle, but I pull through,

On

My

own.

Im no longer dependent on anyone but myself.
I am
C o n f i d e n t,

P o w e r f u l,

D e t e r m i n e d

A year ago today, is gone.

My life

starts
