When the mask comes off...

(Physical abuse against women, if far too common!
like a cancer that eats away their hope.
This piece is done to celebrate those that find their way out of the abuse
and to ignite the sparkle that might become the fire of freedom for those still hopeless)

Dedicated also my dear friend little-one-girl.deviantart.com… Happy birthday

Forgive me,
for loving,
for wanting,
for hoping...

I won't ask you anymore.

but know this,
it is over,
I don't need
your so call love.

Maybe I'm not, stronger after all,
maybe the world
is just another place,
for me to fall,

but know this,
today all masks
are coming off...

You break me,
you fix me,
only to break me
once more.

I want hands that give me love,
your fists... They... 
they break my faith,
they shatter hope.

Don't tell me
you love me,
that boat departed
long ago.

All I see are bruises
all I feel is pain,
all I want is love,
my search will not be in vain.

Your kisses are tinted,
your fists are bleeding
from my shattered
and broken dreams.

My chest is open,
come...!
See my heart
break free.

The chains are breaking...
from your locks
I shall be free.

This love you give me
I wish upon no one.
just keep it
I don't want it.

today...
All masks are coming off
I'll take these broken dreams
I'll build myself some hope.


but I think,
before I go
you should know
I loved you,

I gave my heart to you,
no need there was
to chain it,
to my chest.

Today...
My silence is broken
and with it,
my bond to you!

Today my lips
are unsealed,
today I will speak
unafraid.

Today...
All masks are coming off,
I'll take my broken dreams,
I'll build myself some hope!
