Deborah Herber Poet Rhyme

The Healing Never Ends

I thought you were my prince
Come to save my heart 
To change my life 
And become my missing part. 

But you took my dreams
And tore them apart 
You shredded my existence 
Right from the start.

I was too blind to see
That you really didn't care
I sacrificed my pride
For your lying snair.

I walked away 
With a broken heart 
Wondering what I did wrong
To deserve your violent dart. 

I learned the hard way 
I was too good for you
And I never looked back
When I said we were through.

I have since moved on 
And I've buried the past
Facing the shadows 
Your abuse has cast.

The healing never ends
When abuse tears you apart
But the freedom you embrace
Is a peaceful start.
