One Day He Will Turn Back

You should build a wall around your heart they told her You are too trusting, too open, too vulnerable, naïve She laughed thinking of a wall like that. She was a Pollyanna, a Julie Andrews, Snow White. She would have lived with the Seven Dwarfs gladly, Or entered an old codger’s house to hang prisms. Her open light was a beacon, which drew in a narcissist. He was handsome, which fooled her, like it had fooled others. She was whisked away, thinking it was a forever after. It was a life of hell, for she never learned to build the wall. Every day thinking this is the day he will turn back into the prince. Not realizing she had married a sociopathic wolf.

ooh poor girl. Some times we don't really know a person until we live with them.

Sometimes we do not know until a few weeks into it.

I am wary of all of them except one.

So sad when this happens, and it too often does. Deceit reaps its rewards in time, I think. This prince will someday be an old toad!

I have to admit I love it when a woman escapes.
