Hey baby girl I see your world is crumbling,

Memories fading away and its very puzzling,

Your soul cries out to mine, it’s summoning,

Begging keeping me close as the cries are troubling,

I am always here for you I said, with sincerity,

But circumstances make it seem like heresy,

U needed a friend to listen, the best kind of therapy,

But I was ghost, couldn’t give answers, no clarity,

You developed a Anger taking you to a psychotic border,

Friends lying, hiding my reasons, a fugitive they harbor,

Weeks and months pass it seems your blade is only getting Sharper,

But my shelter was as flimsy as the shell of a rotting arbor,

I wish I could tell you the reason that I had to escape,

The reason I ran from this constant mental n emotional rape,

Hard for you, harder for me because my life had finally begun to take shape,

I reminisce thinking of the days before my heart had this unhealthful scrape,

If only you knew I had developed a love for you without conditions,

Your journey takes you on a path to fulfill your dreams, hopes & Ambitions,

Unknowingly you supplied my enemies with their deadly munitions,

The one enemy who’s Identity knows multiple frightening renditions,

He lurks in the shadows on my loneliest days waiting to find a hole in my defenses,

Days I am afraid to close my eyes because my heart cries aloud and senseless,

Momentarily he is my very real enemy, and strangely intangible to my senses,

Deep sadness that creeps up my spine as his smile gives hope to false Pretenses,

I couldn’t bear your smile, knowing we would not pass a certain emotional relation,

My feelings I suppressed hiding behind the common excuses, Stress & aggravation,

The only choice I have is retreat, because my words only lead to provocation,

Unseen by your eyes, unheard by your ears, you are blind to my declaration,

I wish I could fight this battle without collateral damage,

A lonely warrior broken by years of fighting will hardly manage,

Unfortunately he will defeat me today because of his advantage,

But the sun will rise soon over my glory giving way to a relentless savage,

The scars only add to the horror of my life, yes the one that I am living,

I ask for one chance, for none but myself, & pray the others are forgiven,

Been told to often this is a game and I have to be a little more selfish,

Yet here I stand alone on the beach, staring at a sunset my honor I will cherish,
