TRUE LOVE
Her wedding day, the princess inside merges starry-eyed
Her handsome groom kneels across from her, they pledge their love
FOREVER
A home they begin full of love, welcoming children in
He lied, he cannot hide his demons inside
HE CLINGS TO HER
Holes in walls, furniture flies, the children hide
He will change, he tries, she cries
SHE CLINGS TO HIM
She becomes weak, the smile has gone, she cannot sleep
He hates her, a burden she's become, he wants her gone
TEMPORARY
She leaves, she runs, seeking shelter
Her heaven became a living hell, his heart a shell
NIGHTMARE
Her wedding day, the princess inside merges starry-eyed
Her handsome groom kneels across from her, they pledge their love
FOREVER
A home they begin full of love, welcoming children in
He lied, he cannot hide his demons inside
HE CLINGS TO HER
Holes in walls, furniture flies, the children hide
He will change, he tries, she cries
SHE CLINGS TO HIM
She becomes weak, the smile has gone, she cannot sleep
He hates her, a burden she's become, he wants her gone
TEMPORARY
She leaves, she runs, seeking shelter
Her heaven became a living hell, his heart a shell
NIGHTMARE

Wonderful powerful poem. Seems like a lifetime packed into one short poem. I have written so many poems very similar to this! I feel your pain!
