Dark space

Broken down with words 

Always trying to please 

The keeper of my heart 

Now filling up with rage 

But love can soften the blow 

You created this dark space 

But I don't have to live 

In the shadows anymore 

Broken down piece by piece 

Always gathering nerve 

The guard in my map 

Clipping my wings 

But love can soften the flurry 

You created this dark space 

But I don't have to cover up 

All the bruises left 

Broken down in spirit 

Fear consuming me 

When you are too tired 

To fight back at all 

But love can soften the roar 

You created this dark space 

But I don't have to bow

With my head in shame 

Never feel alone when you are in an abusive relationship. There is someone to hold your hand and guide you into light. 

From the heart
