"the Past"

He's filled me with sadness,hurt and pain.
I feel like my life is going insane
He reeks of jealousy,hate and lust.
He has no careing,love or trust.
One year ago our troubles started.
So now I'm lost and broken hearted.
I wish I could've seen what everyone knew.
Then I might not have been bloody,bruised.
He would beat me so bad all I could do was moan.
When he left all I could do was crawl to the phone.
Now the years have past and I have a good life.
A wonderful husband and being a good wife.

Thank goodness you got out of that abusive situation, Teresa. This would make a great entry for Farah's contest. I'm glad you have a happy life now! Love, Carolyn
