I Needed To Stop...



This Is For L...
 
I needed to stop, but I couldn't!
And so I read each and every one,
The fear, the pain, the horror...
For you, from what he'd done!
 
An animal!  No!  Much more,
A thief of the very worst kind!
Evil, conniving, ferocious...
A twisted incomprehensible mind!
 
A mind like a deep crater,
Dark, dangerous and deep...
The ingredients of a pervert,
One who breaks a heart and makes it weep!
 
Vicious, underlying, evil and twisted,
What a cake it makes!
So bitter it sticks in the throat!
The dice rolled the highest stakes!
 
You won you know, you did!
For no mater how or what you feel,
'YOU' moved forward into the light!
Even though your innocence he did steal!
 
Retribution, hate, or forgiveness...
But we can't ever forgive, can we?
Can we put it in the past and bury it?
So that no longer the pain we shall see!
 
No, we can't truly forgive, can we?
And hate!  Such an emotion so strong!
Do we need retaliation?
To an epitaph to which we long!
 
But you have moved onward and forward,
You just can't see it yet!
One day the sun will shine again,
And your eyes will no longer stay wet!
 
Although time is the great healer,
How long does it take?
When will it be over?
For sanity is at stake!
 
Onward, forward, upward,
Is the only way to go!
But time is ticking away the days,
When it happens, will you know?
 
Yes!  Yes you will, you know!
For one day it will come to pass...
That you didn't hurt as much today,
It's on its way to being easier, at last!
 
You're on a roller-coaster,
Needing to let go...
But you can't so you hold on tight,
The fear only 'you' know!
 
So you wrote it out, worked it through,
And no matter the age we 'mature...'
That's the time we have won!
When we walk through another door!
 
Let go the past, drag yourself forth!
Leave behind all the worries and fear!
For if you don't, you 'can't' move on...
And your mind will never clear!
 
Have no shame!  It's not your fault,
But the fault of him so vile!
Pity him, for he's the one...
Who will one day not climb that stile!
 
He will forever be in limbo,
And have no peace of mind!
Always fearing the knock on his door!
Dreading the police waiting there...he may find!
 
So for it to ease your pain,
You have to eke it out!
Make your voice heard over others!
Stand up, scream and shout!
 
So write it out, work through it!
Dig deep down inside,
No more running, don't be scared!
For now there's no more need to hide!
