I Told My Abuser

I told my 
abusive fiancé 
That I was
 writing an
award winning
novel
My songs 
That were
unsung
Until I was
Done
With him
He'd have
 a star 
A shining chapter
My  gift of
reading between
 his lines
My intelligence 
Coping with
His dubious sins
Twisting me
Into his plot line
But wait........
Not any more
I have a new book
To write
I'm going to shine
On my own
My gifts bestowed
With my pen
Nothing will 
Hold me back
I'm a very gifted
Woman
Passionate
and on the right
track
Strap on your
Seat belt
I'm going to 
Take you
For a ride
With my own
Plot lines
