I Cried a River I cried a river, my body began to quiver. I felt a cold front rush through my body, And I began to shiver. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, I never knew that there was this type of evil in a human being. I cried a river, I didn’t understand why I was such a giver. Why did I give you my love? Why did I continue to love, even after the first shove? Why did I give you my all? Your only intention was to make me fall. Why did I give you my time? When I knew that you weren’t worth a dime. Why did I give you my heart? You crushed it from the very start. I cried a river until I couldn’t cry anymore, I begged for mercy as I fell to the floor. I watched you walk out the door, And I accepted that I would never be who I was before, it was then that I realized that I deserved so much more. I cried a river like I have never cried, You tried to kill me but I survived. You did everything so that I would die, Your many attempts failed because I am strong and I am still alive! Your soul is dead, you tried to get into my head, so that I would believe the lies that you fed, while you laughed as my heart bled. I almost feel pity for you, Because your evil soul will never allow you to experience any kind of love that is true. My love for you was unconditional, what you had to offer was less than minimal. You used my pain for your gain, yet your empty soul remains the same. I cried a river at the sound of your name, I had flashbacks from all of the heartache and pain. The river that I cried didn’t last too long, Because I promised myself to change that rundown song. The song that I now sing, brings me joy and peace. I take a deep breath and smile as I remember that I am free. I cried a river as I closed my eyes, I could sleep in peace knowing that For you, I wasn’t going to sacrifice my life. -JK #poet #dvrecovery #expressionthroughwriting #passionate #love #god #survivor#recovery #domesticviolenceadvocate #speakupspeaknow #togetherwestand #aphoenix #mentalhealth #culture #soonerorlater #truthwillbetold #WomensEqualityDay #justice #changeagent #bebrave #moms #poetrylover #Writer #beabadass #movebitch #getout #psychopath #narc (at Harris County District Attorney's Office) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIPK76Ej_GG/?igshid=124238erz96z8
