Dark Places

She felt emptiness, melancholy, and lacking self-love

                Seeking to discover love. She believed she was loveless as

                a little girl since her father was presence was sparse entering
   
                into her maturing years. She seemed to be in a state of naively

                 to affirm that she was thinking she had surely found her

                 Knights and in shiny armor. Another illusion of abandonment, 

                  when will these heartless cycle break? Abusive associations

                  and betrayals, Dark Places once again approaching depression,

                   violated at gunpoint manipulation and smearing one's name,

                  loss of family members. for what purpose do you continue to

                  wreak havoc in contact with my soul, One takes 3 steps forward

                 , instantly you move one backward now next to three near death

                accounts. Dark Places you are physically and mentally recurrently

               in contact with her. Dark places you no longer have relevance in

               her life, She now chooses morality and self-love.
