ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS

Ever wondered why people stay in abusive relationships? 

Being strangled in an abyss of pain and hurt, 

It's the deceptive spiral of hope... 

Hoping one day they'll go back in time only to dwell in the happiness of the past.

But somehow, we're faulted for the choices we made, to remain oblivious and stuck, 

In this fairytale that just 'slightly' has a different storyline.

But if you really think about it, 

Why curse out a person for the possession of hope?
Do you not,  each night, go down on your knees making plans for “tomorrow”? 

That in this clouded misfortune of white and black, tomorrow will come running to you,

For you, to take another breath from it.

That's the thing! "Tomorrow" never made promises to you... 

Whispers of sinful pleasure wished to wreck my centrepiece, only to revolve around it.

Caresses that leave me aching for eternity,

Created a fountain of wet, heartwarming kisses and warmth when engulfed in its arms.

Because my "tomorrow" did...

It wasn't always like the sun,

Hot-tempered and blazing. 

Or like snow,

Leaving frostbites and chapped bloody lips.

It was also like spring,

With blooming flowers and caresses of gentle breeze.

Threatening to break the silence with coarse whispered moans at the very tip of my lips.

Then, like a newsflash, 

I'm told I just made an encounter with "was”.

A temptress holding onto me so dear almost to the point of suffocation, 

Leading me to dwell in a devastating 'once upon a time'. 

He was...

She was...

"Was" indicates the past, but I've certainly forgotten that she's just the past.

A mystery solved and forgotten and will never be the future...

My dearest, please let go of "was", for she will never be now.

She'll only drown you and keep you trapped in the past, 

She will forever remain there;

Her forsaken home...
