Trust Me......

Trust Me

Have you ever been fooled by a man? he pretended to be someone he was not, to get you he was the perfect gentleman and afterwards he completely changed. Have you ever had a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? what did you do to get rid of him? many women at this present moment are in abusive relationships, some are too scared to leave  or too afraid others will look down on them. the fault does not lie with you, you can overcome! Do not be a victim all your life, get up and move on. enjoy my poem.

He stretched out his hand with a smile

“Trust me” he said

I should have smelled the bullshit from a mile.

I touched it

I was tentative

At first it was good

Honeyed kisses, expensive gifts, shopping trips,

 Soft caresses and good loving.

As soon as he had a ring around my finger it turned sour.

I trod downhill on a path laden with

Lies,

Cheating,

Distrust,

Beatings,

Abuse,
 physically,
 verbally,

This broke me mentally and emotionally.

He ripped my heart out and fed it to the dogs,

Leaving me with nothing but these horrible scars

My self-esteem shattered,

My beautiful skin battered,

He got pleasure from my pain,

His sunshine was my rain

My tears were his joy

I was his plaything a mere toy,

His little games destroyed me

My existence was one of misery

My past life of happiness now history

He tore me apart piece by piece

Ripping,

Thrashing,

Shredding,

Taking,

Taking,

Taking…….

I look in the mirror and the sight I see astonishes me

Dark circles around the eyes,
 busted lips

Make up can’t fix this.

My beautiful smile hidden;

My body used in ways that should be forbidden

Looking at this downtrodden broken woman I made a plan

Time to get rid of this evil man

I met him at the door his favourite dish laden with poison on the table

This ending was no fairy tale it was more like a fable

I stretched out my hand to him with a smile

“Trust me” I said

He should have smelled the bullshit from a mile
