The Cycle

Abuse is like a drug, addictive and hard to walk away from

The heart hears the desperate please of an abusive man, it's been here many times. The empty promises, the illusion of happiness, the hope one day of change. The first time the heart was weak and believed that things were true, but one more fight and being put down had made the heart the fool, to think it had the strength it needs to finally move on. Yet as fast as the man disappears he comes back with twice the charm. He begs and pleads to make her heart feel loved but still feel he's done no wrong. The heart gives in and yet again is hidden from the truth. Two weeks later and she's done no wrong but finds herself behind the hand of that abusive man. She's DONE, she's HAD IT, she's NEVER going back. A few months pass without this man her heart has grown strong and able to stand alone. The highest she's felt in quite awhile was soon burned down by his seductive smile.
