Seizing Sanity

If the facts were plain
Lain on a sheet of white
It would still be fuzzy
With all the was he, was she...right

So, he led and she followed
Habit, to the place of secrets
Knowing he wouldn't talk
And she was certain to keep it
....hidden
........................deep

....................................where, even she, couldn't go

He didn't need a face
Only a way, that led to the place
Where familiarity played
While her growth stayed
...put....careful, to never move

Safety was found in routine
Afraid, until it was done
Then she could go free
Though her mind was broken, she would run

...like children do


It was when things got different
Even the air was terror
That she pulled against habit
Trying help him avoid an error

...in behavior

.......just trying somethin' new

.......................like molestation had a flavor

WAIT!!!!

Choice....if this is love, doesn't love have choice!?!
......or does SHE lose.......
.................................can't go there......back, gotta get back

.............on my back

......................................I think it's over........

"When you get over
Maybe you can GIVE back!"

She arose and died
As the forever bond, lied
Until LOVE came and untied
The veil of the virgin bride.
