Evil lies,
No eyes,
For what you don't see is the truth.
Blank stare,
Lack of care,
Enough for me to go insane.
Painful ways,
Every day,
Apprehensive future to come.
Not here,
No fear,
You were my only one.

The author's comments:
I was in an extremely emotionally abusive relationship a few years ago but I thought it was normal, what relationships were supposed to be like. It took him leaving me to realize that I could do better, and that I should have done better to begin with.
