She came from above, heavenly sent
No sign of sympathy.. just a listening ear and love
Her way was caring and a plan was created
To put in place, a way forward
to cope and to think what was next.
A hug, a gentle touch, a glimmer of hope
To show me that it would be okay and I can cope
To trust and to breathe, to know that ahead
Is a future that’s bright, no more flight or fight.
I loved him dearly this man of mine
but he took my heart and wore it down
I thought he was my soulmate life was great
But it started slowly the lies the deceit
I decided this relationship was not love
My life in tatters, my heart was broken
Time to put my self care in action
with the help of a friend, a text, a call
I could only hope I would not fall.
So many women have taken these steps
to leave their home and flee with nothing
In fear, alone, upset, no place to go
a mercy dash, in the middle of the night
a moonlight flit, enough of this shit
Frightened and alone, scared and anxious
Running for life, for rights, hope and peace
A refuge, a bed, some clothing, a cup of tea
Abuse, emotional, physical, and mentally
is not acceptable for any women or child
No matter what the reason.
