I once feared The start of a brand new day The mystery And the unknowing Of how the end would Eventually come And sweep all away I once feared The strength of your grasp How tight And how controlling You were of my happiness And how you could take it all away With just one step Away from me You were everything I feared Or more-the-less Learned to fear You were everything he once was Yet something else completely different Face-to-face with my rapist Was what it became when I looked at you Accusing you of everything he had been Yet unknowing that you were Instead My savior My white knight come to rescue me On his own white horse You weren't him I would have to come to realise And you wouldn't do what he did Which I would have to come to trust And as you take my hand now You are teaching me to walk again Trust again And you're helping me to rebuild my life From the very beginning I once feared The start of a brand new day The mystery And the unknowing Of how the end would Eventually come And sweep all away Now I am learning that The start of a brand new day Holds the abandonment of him For I'm finally releasing myself from his hold With you by my side Helping me through The process of Living.
Reason for writing:
18 months later - the rebuilding of my life takes form.
