Karen Murphy Poet Free verse

Unworthy

Like a twisted climbing rose, you crept into my life.
  Taking my peace ,leaving only strife. 

  You pushed me to my limit, putting me on edge.
  Your abuse was like a stopping point, Like a privet garden hedge.

   We lived this life day by day,
   trying hard to stay out of each others way.

   Until the day that I stepped out of your trap.
   Realizing you were nothing more than a sap.

    And now my peace has been restored 
    the voices in my head I chose to ignore.

    My life is not like it used to be since I walked out the door. 
    Leaving you behind as I never did before.
