she is broken to pieces over
him,
torn from limb to limb,
emotionally exhausted,
he’s stolen her dignity and integrity,
like a thief running through the night,
a vampire feeding on her emotions
and desires,
only to leave her paralyzed with
fear and criticism,
ashamed and abandoned,
a mirror of him,
he is the abandoned one,
living with fear and insecurities,
fearful that she will see right
through him,
fearing he will be alone,
so he finds another,
a creature who only wants to be loved and
accepted,
a wounded animal crying for attention,
he’s found another because he knows,
she is too smart to stay in his
control,
his time with her has run out,
because
he is the broken one.
