(I couldn't talk about it so I wrote a poem)
Predator
Heartbreak comes in many ways. 
The first one will haunt me for all my days.
 My every nightmare and dream has your face 
to ignite my screams, my heart beat haste.
Time won't heal this shattered trust,
 the lies you told of the future “us”.
You used your power and prominence, 
used the pulpit as your lance. 
You claim God's voice was your own,
 “His” words from your lips like honeycomb. 
Sweet to the ear, a seductive flow, 
still just a child,  I didn't know. 
Just like a sick soap opera or Lifetime movie, you set your sights, began to groom me. 
I feel so foolish and naive looking back …
at seventeen, innocent, easy to attack.
 Like the lame and young ones trailing the herd, predators take the straying,easy kill first. 
How patient you were, lying in wait.
You took careful steps as if I might escape. Sneaking up on me in plain sight
 until your touch, familiar, I didn't fight. Spinning this elaborate fantasy, our destiny. Ordained by God, you made me believe. 
Then you struck, like the viper you were,
after years of a patient petting, persistent purr.  A velvet vice, an auspicious anchor, 
held me captive in false love’s languor.
Then the poisonous venom began its work, you used me in ways that only hurt. 
I was a willing, if deceived, participant…
so in love, no evil intent. 
Then some wisdom from above, 
in the form of family and out of love. 
The truth so evident with blinders off, 
some won't believe me, will only scoff. 
Five years of his amorous attentions, 
with promises of forever never failing to mention. 
The patina of youth and vicious game of prey, his sick desires for me, began to fade. 
You found a limping, more vulnerable gazelle, and knowing this my family tells. 
Although I find it hard to trust, 
my faith in God is deeper and thus, 
He's used this pain to help me find
 peace and truth, leaving the past behind. 
For my faith is no longer in any man,
 and gratefully, never will be again. 
Justice on this earth is not guaranteed…
but from his wicked spell I am freed!
