Your disease.

You love me,
or so you say....
Your love is sick, it's like a disease
That has infected me...
Throughout my being,
in my bones

I trusted you... you tore me down
You broke my heart,
in too many ways
I was a child... so innocent,
trusting you with open arms

You took me on, into your home I went
Little did I know,
a predator you were
Punishing me was your game,
for all of your own pain

A wolf in sheep’s clothing is how you were disguised
For years I waited for the comfort,
I was promised oh so many times
Losing myself,
one piece at a time

Broken promises were all I heard
Trust was not a reality to me
I gave myself completely,
over and over
Till there was nothing left of me to give...

I bore your children with love
Cared for them for all these years
You hid your so called love,
inside a bottle or a toke

I’m cleansing me,
of all of you
No longer will I be,
a part of YOUR disease!

    Quite an infri of rage, who can say where the road goes where the day flows -only time who can say if your love grows as your heart shows -Only time. Who can say why your heart sighs as your love flies -Only time And who can say why your heart cries when your love lies -Only time. Who can say when the roads meet that love might be your heart and who can say when the day sleeps if the night keeps all your heart. Night keeps all your heart. Who can say if your love grows as your heart slows -Only time. And who can say where the road goes where the day flows -Only time. Who knows-only time. Who knows-Only time...

    Sonnenuntergänge die wunderschön sind.

    Is this your past poem or another? Incredbly able minded you are non the less, to share with us the pain and the rage, my mind lingers upon one line in particular. The meaning so powerful, 'A wolf in sheep’s clothing is how you were disguised'
    And yet I think if you left the line as 'A wolf in sheep's clothing' it would aid the flow and add a larger impact at the end.

    Your poem has left my mouth dry, very well done indeed and best of luck.

      This is a past poem, I got married at the age 15 to an older man, a very controlling sick man. He was an addict, and my life was nothing that I hoped for or needed. Three kids later... and growing up... it took me to finally have the strength to leave. I had alot of trust issues, heartache, to say the least after leaving this relationship, but through time and finding inner strength that I never knew I had.. I am happy and loving life. Everything I have gone through has made me who i am today and for that i am thankfull for.

      Thank u so much for the time you put into replying to this poem. It was a very honest and healing poem for me. First time I really looked at the effects of that part of my life when I wrote that poem.

      Again thankyou... and hope you enjoy some of my other writes I have entered. Your comments appreciated... means more then a trophy to me.

      Hey sorry I never caught that the first time, when I was reading your rules. Think I did it right now... is there a reason for our names being spaced out and in the AN notes? Just curious! Thanks for letting me know that I forgot something. Wasn't sure if this was classified Prose.. just started writting in Jan this year.

        haha, no problem. if you don't space it out it will just show up as anonymized, i only wanted it in there so i could keep track of freshwrites and prewrites.

        "You hid your so called love,
        inside a bottle or a toke" -- that hurt to read. hit close to home.

    Fantastic! How long were you married to this guy? You're right. He was a predator, and I'm glad you got away! Nice job penning this piece! Thanks for entering my contest. Good luck. It's an honor to have you show your work here.

    This is simply understood, but yet it was not simple living it. Comming out of this relationship was the hardest but yet best thing I have ever done for myself... this is for all those people out there... I feel your pain...
