Marriage
The end all be all
All pain
Was to end
A new life
Was to begin
Protection
Affection
Love
Was to be overflowing
The past absolved
Childhood issues resolved
Because I found the one
The one
Who's supposed to fill me with security
Only provides a shaky foundation
Promises fall through the cracks
Wounds reopened
With each and every stumble
And now I am humble
Once so proud of a fairytale
Only to discover the clock struck 12
Now I've trapped in a fairy hell
I've built for myself
Telling myself lies to try to ease
The torment begging God
Please
Turn him from the villain to
Prince Charming
Or rewind time to alarm me
He is no hero
But a wolf in sheep's clothing
Preying on the weak, desperate and gullible
Lonely and love-starved
With a hardened heart
He absorbs my very essence
To feed his ego
His wants, needs, desires
The utmost priority
And to keep the peace
I just concede
And give him all of me
For my sanity
I plaster on a smile
And while I'm coming apart at the seams
I make sure a smile
Is what everyone sees

In The Blink of Her Eye
Time itself bent and morphed, allowing Shannon the precious seconds needed to see and adjust to the disaster unfolding in front of her. Each frame showed minute details she would have missed had the clock not slowed down until she heard every click of the hands as they swept toward the end of everything. If only she was being melodramatic...
