The arms that made her feel like home,
Now suffocates her.
The gaze that made her feel empowered,
Now only makes her cower.
The hands that used to caress her,
Now only is known to bruise her.
The lips that used to promise love,
Now only spills hatred.
The sweet murmurs of that velvety voice,
Now only spews poisonous insults.
The memories that she used to cherish,
Now only makes her resent them.
The heart that used to flutter for him,
Now sits cold and dead.
And, the man of her dreams,
Now only is the monster of her nightmares.
