He Grabbed My Power

He grabbed my power And held it in his teeth. I was young. Vulnerable. Naïve. I gave it willingly Having never met a psychopath before. Having optimistic feelings about him. I kind of loved him. He drained my energy stealing from me lying to me hurting me deeply b e t r a y i n g me. I had to let him go even though I loved him for he did not understand love and I needed my power back so I could love myself again….

This was fiction, but for many women it is nonfiction. I wrote it in honor of so many I have met.

Thank you Line. I wrote this in honor of all the women I have met who are cowed by their men, and dare not tiptoe the wrong direction.
