When he treats you like a queen
Says his never loved anyone more than you
Buys you expensive presents
You end up falling for him too
It’s not until his got your heart
That he starts to play his games
You don’t realise it at the time
Not until it is too late
It’s a slow and gradual process
He makes you doubt things you supposedly said
He tries to stop you going out
And says it’s because he cares
You soon begin to feel lonely
Your friends and family drifting away
You got me, you don’t need them
Is what he might often say
Once his got you on his own
His behaviour will get worse
You don’t know where the man you met went
After his first violent outburst
If you go to up and leave
He will cry plead and beg
He will use emotional blackmail
And get inside your head
It will never happen again he says
He promises to change
Things go back to being good
But his made you feel afraid
His great for a while
Till he doesn’t get what he wants
He puts you down and calls you names
Then makes out it’s your fault
The violent outbursts start again
They become a regular thing
If anyone asks if you’re ok
You cover up and lie for him
This is just an outline
Of what abusive people are like
Just remember it’s not you’re fault
And that there is light
You are strong and you’re beautiful
You are better off without him
There is help out their to free your self
Speak out and let people in
It may take a while to recover
And even longer to trust again
Surround your self with positive people
That can help you as you mend
You will miss the happier times
And the man you thought he was and could be
It’s ok to shed your tears
You are allowed to grieve
You can do this believe in yourself
You will come out stronger than ever
And there will come a day where you will never look back
Because you are a true survivor
