She was his devoted and loving wife and then came those pitiful, anguished nights..
She counted the cries, the bruising and prayed for an end to his confusion.
His night frights that she was observing had become quite unnerving..
In their bed he lay restless, squirming, what he saw was deeply disturbing..
Pillows punched and flattened held the key to the terrors that she couldn't see.
Most days he was distant, robotic. Was he now becoming psychotic?
She held him with a heart so tender. The war had ended but those memories wouldn't surrender.
It's trauma lived on and it bore thru his flesh. He now fought the battle of post traumatic stress.

At first the pain was too damn bad
to say that I would live
Until the chance to add some more
came knocking on to give
And I would say of course for sure
I certainly need more
And respect the need to want and blow
my mind to add to horror
So now I claim I'm P.T.S.
and I can go insane
Ignoring all I did that day
when I was sure to blain

when
scientology has
deemed you an
enemy for being
antisocial, for
being a POTENTIAL
TROUBLE
SOURCE (PTS), for
getting in the way
of the
BRIDGE TO TOTAL
FREEDOM for
others---you are now
a suppressive person (SP),
you bring the whole
bloody cult down, don’t
ya know you got to
stop making all those
that drop their gold coins
in the coffer feel like they
have wasted their lives &
money on something just
as fictional & ridiculous
as moses, christ or
muhammad, but you have
shelled out some major dough
to do so---a committee of
evidence has a file on you &
they are going to bring you
before the High Court! you
will be forbidden to have
any contact with those
designated SP’s if you are
not found to be one yourself &
you will be followed & you
will wading in the dung of the
jehovah’s witness whose been
dis-fellowshipped, you will be
withering in the dark with
the excommunicated mormons,
you will be cast out like the
proverbial leper & you will be
alone with no one that you
once knew by your side---but,
you will be free to breathe a
rational breath once again.

Pt. 1:
I believed,
You deceived.
Hurtful lies,
Evil eyes.
I’ll never again,
Believe you, old friend.
The tears I cried,
The pain I’d hide.
I see you with her,
My heart breaks once more.
I thought you were the one,
But it was only for fun.
I’ll never forget,
What you did; And yet,
Each thought brings more hate.
You’re never forgiven; Someday,
I will have my revenge,
And you’ll just want me again.
Pt. 2:
Why did I believe,
You were the one for me?
You never wanted love.
The whole thing was just for fun.
It’s something I’ll never forget,
I’m not even over it yet.
All the time, all the lies.
All the tears that I’d hide.
You never cared, I should’ve known,
That you would soon be gone.
‘Cause that’s how your type is.
A man-whore, that’s how you’ll live.
But, you’ll regret your mistake,
And think about me every day.
You know you’ll want me back,
But, hun, it won’t happen like that.
I’ve moved on from you,
But I still ache over what you do.

Spectrum wavelength giving off hues
Eyes drink in any color they choose
Glorious rainbows catch the light
Joy and hope dancing into our sight
Mind may limit but soul perceives
A vibrant union the heart believes
