The angel lost her grace,

As mascara ran down her face.

She forgot love, remembered hate.

She no longer had her faith.

With tear stained cheeks,

Through bloodshot eyes,

She saw only pain and suffering.

Love, she couldn't conquer.

As the blue sky faded to black,

Darkness filled her heart.

Her wings vanished from her back,

And her kindness fell apart.

Even with all her might,

Her dress still went black from white.

She was sent to save,

To help those who weren't brave.

But as she looked around,

At the marks she left...

Tear stained cheeks,

And bloodshot eyes.

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING...
