The Hidden Truth

THE HIDDEN TRUTH He picked her up and threw her, broke every bone Then upon her small body, he then began to stone It was more than a miracle that she even survived All these years; she is still waiting to become alive He left her high and dry, left her standing all alone She came through life without any real love shown Threw her to dogs and then she took all his shame He wasn't really prepared to take any of the blame You could hear him laughing, he's hidden his crime Still waiting all these years, to collect on her dimes He had trapped her, so, no one, could see the truth And she was way to long gone waiting on the proof They buried her last April, alas, no one really cared But, upon him those nightmares were never spared He, was found dead alone; a confession in his hand It was only then, to those, who did not, understand You; cannot get away with, the murdering of a soul Her death had been worth it; as proof was her goal Indiana Shaw . . .

Destroying anyone, is disturbing, Jeff, but, for some, a fact of life that they have to live with for the rest of their lives, and thanks for your sighted comment . . . : )

An elaborate description of physical and mental abuse, and in the end...retribution. The punishment is justified as payment for an atrocious crime. In Eastern belief, Karma! An excellent poem Indiana Shaw...ab

Ah, seems to me he got what was coming. I'm afraid too many men set about deliberately to destroy their spouse's soul. They get what they deserve. Too many get away with it, too.

She would have loved to see the day to show him for what he was, but, it was not to be so, but, on her death she knew the truth would come out, he realized what he gained from destroying her was not worth it in the end, she wasn't going to love him, whatever, hence, why he put all the blame on her . . . : /
