Breath


Captured thoughts of a person (me) caught in the cycle of domestic (psychological) abuse:


Breath

One, two, three, breath.
One, two, three, breath.
It's time for him to leave.
It's time for him to leave.
He's cutting off my air.
I stand here in the square.
Where do I go?


I hate to leave you,
but it's time to go.
It's scary here,
nothing is mine.
My thoughts aren't mine.
My life's not mine.
Where did I go?

I can live my life.
I have before.
But you've controlled me.
I don't know how to live now.
How did I live before?
What did I do?

God showed me the way.
I lived life day by day.
Power Greater than myself,
Show me the way.
Guide me day by day.
Hour by hour.
Minute by minute.

God the pain is too acute,
don't leave me aloof.
Stay by my side.
Help me find rest that abides.

The tide come in,
the tide goes out.
I must remain resolute.
I must reamin resolute.

There is no refute.
I gave him the boot.
The end is but mute.
