A Son’s Pain

Seeing someone

Go through

Such pain

Knowing she

Continues her

Onslaught

Driving forward

Causing pain

And misery

Every word

Action

Driving the

Divisive sword

Deeper

Cutting away

Relationship

Moving the needle

Closer to empty

In a relationship

That was already

Teetering on

Running

Out of gas

Moving forward

No longer bound

By the craziness

That comes

With someone

That mental illness

Controls

Moving towards

A future

One that has

Joy, peace

Love and life

Built on

An attainable

Solid foundation
