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. Written by Trudy Schrader on 10/29/2019
