Broken vases and bruised faces
My mind’s racing…
How the hell did we end up here
My mind took a rest, granting my heart the wheel
Unaware that she still wasn’t ready to steer
They crashed, landing in love with the devil in disguise
Charming guy.
But then I noticed a shift in his actions
Although my brain signaled red flags,
My heart… she was already attached
So when he took off his mask, I sat back, while the tears dripped down my face
And as he raised up his hand,
My reaction was not the reaction I told myself it’d be if ever I was hit by a man
He put his mask back on as I sat quietly
Confused.
Bruised.
I kept it to myself because I was ashamed
I forgave him, convincing myself this was a one-time thing
But here we are again and as he takes off his mask
I catch a glimpse of his red eyes
Realizing what was next, the damaged woman in me met him with a surprise…
Broken vases and bruised faces
My mind’s racing…
Remembering how we ended up here.
Hi!
I am a survivor and this really resonates with me. I would love to reblog this on my site. It would publish on a Sunday (my guest blogger day) with two prominent links back to this blog site each pointing to different pages and would also publish on Tumblr and Twitter.
Further, I would love to use the photo if you have it available with usage rights and photographer information as the feature photo to go along with it. Otherwise, I will select a photo that I feel will be the right fit for the poem.
For more information please visit https://memeesmusings.com/2014/12/19/disclaimer-for-sunday-callers/
I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! Yes, you can reblog this on your site. Also, the featured image is from Unsplash, a site that offers free photos and encourages users to give credit to the photographer. I just realized I forgot to credit the photo! I’ll try to go back and find the photographers information on Unsplash.

Awesome, thanks so much!
I love Unsplash! It’s my first go-to for images. 🙂 Although their licensing does not require that we credit them, I always do.
