Everyone Warned Her
Everyone warned her about his intentions.
We all felt his savage side, could see how jealous he was.
There was a selfishness about him, a self-centeredness.
She had an innocence and a light
He was determined to squelch it, stomp it into putty.
She did not see what we say. She adored him.
He isolated her the second they said their vows
From her parents, her friends, her siblings.
She was cajoled into giving up her church, her hobbies.
Isolation, the first step initiated by a psychopath.
Who is determined to take away someone’s light.
Which of course, he did.
