the one

Filed under: poetry, stella trochalis — ABRAXAS @ 5:00 pm

by destroying me
you found happily ever after.
but even that wasn’t enough.
you resurfaced to
lick your guilt infested wounds
and beg for my forgiveness.
the tormentor facing his victim
behind the security of a digital network.
the damage inflicted on the psyche
tattooed so that the predefined roles
never can change.
you asked.
i delivered.
but you will always remain
the one who beat me to love you.
in your interlude moment where
there was no concept of betrayal
you got what you needed to continue
with your fairytale ending
and i am left confounded by how
differently
moments can affect
different people.
assemble the past with the present..
and hope for a future brighter than
what could have been.

    I feel your pain, i think most women have gone through that once in their lives whether physically or verbally.
