I'M Your Victim

Pieces of a shattered heart surround you Your feet dance upon a broken soul That night you said adieu You had met your goal Your strong, sensitive gaze A smile that could set the world afire It puts your victims in a thick haze They don’t know their situation is dire But something changes in a flash That gaze turns cold, icy You can only leave a long gash Which was once pleasant has turned dicey Yet, you claim another prize with glee Why, oh why, did you have to pick me?

Excellent write on emotional abuse. So common, and so seldom reflected on. xx~xx

Thank you. Emotional abuse can often be overlook and I'm glad my work can bring it to the attention of more people.
