Reliving the Moment

His eyes were wild with angry He roughly shoved her out of the vehicle I froze, terrified Her life was in danger Or was it my life in danger Our lives where in danger She was begging for mercy Once the love of her life, Now a merciless monster. Once the beloved father to her child, Now a furious stranger We didnt deserve that. From the roadside l fought with her I couldn't lose again Strength failing, panic taking over I froze, terrified I couldn't save myself She can't save herself We can't save ourselves The buildings just towered over Why not fall on us and bring an end to this? The ground stood its ground, Why not open and swallow us up? Even the birds turned a blind eye With no help in sight.. It all came crashing down Seems like a terrible dream now The flashbacks have rested their case The bruises are gone, The scars have faded, Memories erased. Seasons and years have done it, That which couldn't be done quicker. The shadow of fear is not recognisable any more. The harsh tone in the voice Doesn't move me anymore. The threatening look on his face Doesn't scare me anymore My eyes dont shine with tears at this anymore. The fire of anger in them is enough to tell him, I am a different person. Strong but not masculine. I square my shoulders and hold my head high. I look him straight in the eye Without any sense of apology. I am the heroine, The lioness he crafted And will never be able to touch again This bold character in the once feeble me, Scares the day lights out of him. My hands maybe shaky But my knees won't give in. Armed to the core, The degrading words bounce off Some shatter and fall, There is no route to my being for such I got my power back, No one is going take it away from me. Time to shortchange myself Is what l don't have I will not relive the moment All shame is wiped away Beauty for ashes
