Poem tells about the nightmares I was having at the time my boyfriend was abusing me.
THE STING OF BETRAYAL

____________________________

From the depths of the eternal came the roar of a cry
Fire as below, one step, leap, no more
Eyes only see, unbreakable chains bind
Flaming whip send feeling, poison its sting
Laughter heard, one's power, intent its pain
Energy drains slow, images forever tattoo in mind
Scars blood red, if eyes can see
One soul, who has been betrayed
Cold descends, darkness found home
Strength of power, delivers fear
Words spoken loud, riddled deceit
Cries heard, but silent known
Eyes of hatred, bright their glow
Dark figure stands, black of soul
Watch to know, watch to wait
Whip to strike, whip to tear
One soul, who has been betrayed
Hands fight hard, to what?
Laughter echoes, strike upon strike
Voice in head, questions reason
An answer, will not know
Soul eyes turn empty, close to hide
Dishonor know true, forever damaged
One soul, who has been betrayed
Many voices speak, all to agree
Storms close in, black rides fast, death its wake
Talons cinch tight, white who carries, disappears
Shield and hide to keep from harm
Protect at cost, keep safe from the one
One soul, who has been betrayed
