Flashback

Another night another flashback

A scream then pain, fear, darkness, alone

Your fist in my face, hands round my neck

Forgiveness I can give you none

You tore into me, taking my soul from me

I could not cry, just wanted to die

You didn’t have the nerve to give me that

Your love nothing but a destroying lie

Now you and your anger are history at last

I have moved on leaving you with your guilt

I feel joy, happiness, needed and loved

A life without you I have built

Yes, I still flashback, not that you will know

I am strong and though your hands did beat

My body and mind, it is once more mine

And that is something you will never defeat

I don’t hate you, I don’t waste the emotion

You are worthless, pathetic, nothing but scum

My revenge if I desired it, is simple, my sons

Nothing like their father have become

They believe in honour, trust, and respect

They believe in truth, they are gentle young men

Your abuse and your violence is history

My sons are the future, a hateful past long behind them.
