Untitled Poem #13

Blind

lights flash in the rear view mirror

time

horror filled 

breaking down.

It pains me

physically 

I ache

knowing what happens

what he does 

to you

to the child

to me.

I am stronger.

I can take it.

Hide beneath my skirts

I will survive

you would not

so Robin Hood I shall be.

Hands covered in gore

knife falling to the floor

flee we will

I must save you

before I fall from grace.

Worry not 

I will find a home

solace for you

for the child too.

Company to love 

to heal

to cover the scars

with warm embrace.

Watch not

tears streaking 

filmed sight

hands behind my back

remember me……

not for the angry rage

that caused me to destroy

maim

oblitereate

the man who hurt 

who abused us all.

Remember only

that I loved you 

cared for you

got you away 

from that horrid life.

I love you true.

I am sorry I failed you.

Too many hurts

too much pain

before finally 

the monster was slain.
