FACING THE TRUTH

Sitting on the ice cold floor

Burning a fire

In the middle of July

Throwing in another picture of him

Watching the ashes as they fly.

I tried to long to block out the truth

The sickening feeling in my stomach

I couldn't hide from anymore.

Pain I feel for the girls he raped

Pain and torture, he deserves even more.

Starring blankly into the photograph

Looking at his devious smile

The monster I once loved and cared for

Knowing he will never stand trial.

The truth came out

I was next on his list

He doesn't know when to stop

Even when she yells she doesn't want it.

Pain and fury burning inside me

Wanting him to pay for his crimes

Knowing he will never pay

More than just a couple of dimes.

The lies he told

The stupid manipulations and mind games he played

The real him

Now I see clear as day.
