The Dark

by: Eayonnica Owens

She Sits Silently Like A Lady In Waiting

In The DARK

Until He Stumbles In Half Past 12

Breath Reeking Of  “Sin”

A Man Of The DARK

Abuse, Neglect, Depression

The Story Of Their “Relationship”

But Regardless Of What She Hears , What She Endures

She’s In Love With The Man Of The DARK

He’s With A New “Hussy” Every Night

Comes Home Smelling Of Cheap Perfume And Ol’ Spice

Thinking With A Kiss It’ll Make It Alright

When She Refuses It Turns Into A Fight

The Winner?

The Man Of The DARK

4 Kids Who Aren’t Hers,

5 Broken Noses

And

3 Different Women

LATER

She’s Fed UP ! Enough Is Enough!

Bags By The Door…

” Baby, Please Don’t Leave! A Better Man I Promise I’ll Be.”

The Promises Of The DARK

Fail To See The Light.

Nothing Changed With Him…

So She Changed Herself

Never Quite Sure What The Bruises Meant When She Looked In The Mirror

Love? Hatred? A Twisted Sick Toxic Relationship?

 

Like A Washing Machine

Round And Round They Go

20 Years Later

She’s Turned Bitter …

And Cold-Hearted…..

A Woman In The DARK!

No Laughter… No Smiles… No Joy…

God Forbid If You Have Those

I’ll Guarantee You’ll Leave With A Broken Nose

Their Agenda Is To Bring Others To Their Side

The MAN AND WOMAN Of The Dark!

They Are Perfect For Each Other…

Mean, Scary,  Unpredictable, Abusive……..Crazy…DARK

But Sometimes I Swear In Their Crazy DARK Raged Eyes..

I Catch A Glimpse Of Their Once Innocent, Sweet, Love Affair…..

What Happened To That?

Something Made Him This Way… His Ways Turned Her Into Her Way…

It’s Like A Little Dark Curse

Latching On To Anyone Who Dares To Entertain ….

THE DARK…!
