Before I was scared that if I stared into his eyes
That I would be afraid again
That all my therapy and lessons I’ve learned
Would mean nothing and I would be manipulated once again
But instead, when I looked into his eyes I didn’t see the intimidating anger
The punishments, the fury
I saw a coward trying to scare me one last time
He looked really pathetic in his suit sitting next to his lawyer
Graying and thinning away
From the stress of his actions
I’m not scared anymore
I know what real love is now
I’m not alone anymore
And he can’t take anything away from me anymore
