The Face Of An Abuser

In public,

people think you're nice. They see you smile. They think you're helpful. 

Behind closed doors, 

you're a monster.

Would you ever, EVER, in a million years, let them see who you really are?

Would you show them your true self?

Would you let them see what you did to me?

Would they still want to know you?

Would it rip them apart, they way you shattered ME?

I will survive. Dammit, I will.

Fin.
