It Happened
I feel as if I am out of control and so confused.
I can't get past the issue, of being used and abused.
It happened a couple of years ago, I need to move on.
It is hard to start over, when everything is gone.
How do I let it go when it surrounds me every day?
It is like a roadblock, that ends up in my way.
This heavy burden, that I carry around,
causes me to stagger, before I hit the ground.
I remember all of it, I remember it well.
I can't forget, and in this memory, I dwell.
Realizing what had happened, was a shock to me.
I could hardly believe what the truth turned out to be.
There was anger, there was disbelief.
I needed to get out, find some relief.
The pain that this has caused me, will not die.
It still holds me hostage as I watch my life hurry by.
I have tried to protect myself from the cold, but it remains frozen in my heart.
A heart that already bleeds, so it tears my soul apart.
Once, I did what I thought was right, and spoke my mind.
But it just stopped there, only denial was left to find.
So here I stand alone in this lonely, dark place,
All that surrounds me, is cold, empty space.
