She Broke the Chains and Danced Away
He thought he was her everything
Pretending to be a savior
When the only saving she needed
was from him
His masks were many
She was fooled for awhile
His charismatic charm was mesmerizing
until she understood
It was the chase he liked
Once caught, he became brutally mean
Small and petty, a secret man
Showing this face to no other
She broke the chain of affection
and danced away
before he could damage her psyche
the way he had damaged four others
