[hometext] => Writing the poem Devoid of Your Love was like a detoxification for me because when I looked at the words which described my life, I realized that this person I wrote about was me.
[bodytext] => As I think about your love my hands begin to shake, I existed just for you, which was my first mistake. I believed all of those lies as I gazed into your eyes, Never imagining our future together. Where I would be climbing a mountain of misery, Trying to prove my worth repeatedly, Serving a life sentence of torture forever. On eggshells I did carefully step, From your reprimands and punishments I wept, But the promise I made on that fateful wedding day was kept, With the hope that you would change. You didn't. For everyone else you would put on quite a show. Who was that man I would never know? When your audience would close the door, You'd throw your mask upon the floor and revert back to the demon I knew so well, My life with you was a living hell. Your words formed a noose around my neck, While I dined on poisonous meals you fed me that robbed me of my self respect. For years I received each and every blow convinced I had no place to go, And I even thanked you wholeheartedly for reconsidering your decision to discard me, Like I was a piece of trash. How could I be so lucky? The cruel way you treated me backfired miserably, Because I eventually built up resistance. My darling Bruce, Something you failed to see is that your words no longer affected me, A life with you devoid of your love became a normal existence.
