I Have Known

Jzee

I have known of her pain

How the daily lies cut her over and over again.

He can look into her eyes knowing his actions would hurt her, as he disappears and deserts her each night, making her die a little every time he leaves.

I have seen the tears and desperation and I have known of her humliation for many years.

She sacrificed hoping for a better life, a happy home, to be a happy wife, but she has paid the ultimate price for her loyalty, that was definitely not her goal.

Begging to be released

It brings out the beast in him, for he knows her worth.

Her strength adds value to his life but yet he would never think twice before he hurts her.

She keeps to herself most of the time but when others are around, she puts on a smile that brightens any room.

I have seen the sadness in her eyes, each time she tries to pretend it doesn’t hurt,  that’s when it’s the worse, for the reality is she’s alone

As she suffers in silence  her turmoil is real, no one knows how it feels, when unrequited love is what she gets for all the years full of regrets, she has prayed to be shown the love that she deserves.

I have seen her age to quickly, as she stares  into the mirror and wonders, ‘where  has the time gone?’

I bore witnesses to  the crime,

The emotional abuse and rejection

With the expectation that she’ll be fine.

I have heard she needs to make a decision to do what’s  best ,

But she has no where to turn , so she looks up an asks God, ‘what’s the purpose of this test?’

I have seen her just doing what has to be done,

Thinking that it would make things easier, but for who? Not her! He’s having all the fun!!

She didn’t have a choice when she was younger

When her parents didn’t care either,  so she thought if she was in a position to try, She, could have made it better this time.

I have seen her reach her breaking point and I have heard her cries for help,

As she looks up and prays for life to be kind to her, wanting  to survive for her children if not herself.

But she is not the one committing the crime, of being pretentious in front of the crowds all the time.

A good reputation is all he wants, so with great ease he can put up a front.

Of a picture perfect life, with his family and his wonderful  adoring wife.

No one can heal a broken person who is contented to survive how ever the pieces are scattered.

Living many lives  as they surrender to their urges for their ultimate satisfaction.

I have seen how we all masks what pains us in life,

A temporary solution that causes more strife.

The  happily ever after fairytale ending that never comes into fruition.

His mission, to create an illusion of her dreams coming true

Giving her just what she needs to hold on to.

A vicious cycle of skullduggery

For we all eat lies when our hearts are hungry.

So in the end let’s be kind and show compassion to one another,

As there are struggles that are more difficult for some, than others.

    A wonderful write detailing the struggle of a person and using it as an example for the way we should treat others. A fine piece of work. A little touching up and it would be even better!
