For five long years she put up with his crap,
Every day she stood there, listening to his shame,
How he would provide for her,
Make her happy with his life,
That he would do what needed to be done,
But he never did,
And in his failure.
He dragged her down with him.
At first it was little things.
just small enough for her to notice,
but not feel she should say something.
then as she got number to those.
he got worse,
and worse.
Until she woke up screaming in the night.
wishing she had never met him.
And yet she couldn't leave him.
She was all he had,
that was what he said.
But she knew better.
each day she felt the filth,
the disgusting lies he fed her.
And she felt her shame.
She cried, begged the heavens.
Just let me free.
I beg you. Please.....
And as she begged.
A small breeze blew,
Nothing else moved.
No leaves, nor curtains.
When it blew through her soul.
She knew what she must do.
She packed her things,
And she left.
No more of his lies,
no more of his bullying.
She prayed for her freedom.
and The wind answered.
