My Legal Abuser



*MY LEGAL ABUSER*
Why do we give up so easily for them?

So happy to drown why they gleefully swim.

You know, I took meds for mine. Yet, he still crept in.

Thru my pajamas, under my nightgown waking me from my slumber....night after night ripping apart my skin.

Always there...waiting....watching.

Looking on to see which way the paint of my emotions will be splotching.

If I had my way he never would have even entered through my private door.

But in his defense, he was once invited by the young naive girl who once lived  here before.

Lucky for me that child is now gone.

 And just like her my dear sister, you must go too.

Do not say you were not warned,ifyou stay make us angry, and horrible things happen to you.

You see it is not our fault that you made such a good thing turn bad my friend.

Remember when we gave  up so easily?

Tell you what...here's the key to the vault. See if you can unlock it this time, and get away with that shit again!
