Twelve Years
It started on their
Wedding Day,
He dissed her
Maid Of Honour,
Made her look
Stupid,
Their friendship
Stopped shortly after,
Then slowly,
Methodically he
Alienated each of
Her friends,
Of course he threw
Out all of her furniture
And odds and ends,
Broke some of her things,
Her trophies and awards
Were not allowed to be
Displayed,
Everything was his,
The kids were not theirs
They were his,
He belittled her
Every chance he got,
Subtly at first
Then
wide open,
Tried to make her
Feel worthless,
Stupid and nobody,
Endeavoured to distance
Her from her family,
He did crazy things
And pulled reverses,
Told anyone who would
Listen that it was her
Not him,
It took her twelve
Years to realize
What he was doing,
Twelve years.
