I was in the dark
But I couldn't see it.
I didn't know what light was.
How then could I miss it?
That was how you found me
Way back when-
A tiny, wounded, frightened thing
In desperate need of a friend.
You were like a ray of light
When you came into my life.
You were to me an angel
Though I didn't think to ask what kind.
You opened up a world to me
I still cannot describe
But that was just the outer coat,
The inside was much more vile.
Beneath the sweet exterior
Was a filling of abuse and lies,
Manipulation mixed with laughter
And copious creamy smiles.
People ask me why I stayed;
Think I'd surrendered my mind
To a beautiful angel
But not the benevolent kind.
So now you've come around again
Expecting I'd let you in.
Arrogance was always your Achilles heel
And this time around,
I.
Win.
