There was a girl who went to a therapist, <br />And he asked her if he was a good fit. <br />She didn’t know how to respond, <br />But she believed that he would listen, <br />So she pronounced that yes indeed it was. <br /> <br />She told him her stories, as he gazed in her eyes, <br />The anger and sadness would slowly pass from her eyes, <br />He would say “Ok”, cause he didn’t know what else to say, <br />After seeing the horror in her eyes. <br /> <br />He held her hand and wiped her tears, <br />As she told him how she had been betrayed, <br />He had big shoulders to share the burden, <br />He understood that it would be quite the quest, <br />To earn her trust in the end. <br /> <br />He got lost in her eyes, as he stared for an hour, <br />Thinking of the innocent things he could share. <br />He held her gently, offering his hand, <br />Always making it known that he would protect her. <br /> <br />He took her for walks down a sunny path, <br />Courting her with dandelion flowers, <br />As he told her how amazing she was. <br />She couldn’t believe it, when it finally did happened. <br />She finally trusted him like no other. <br /> <br />Until that final day would come, <br />When she needed him the most, she called him for help, <br />And he came to her aid in a flash. <br />She couldn’t believe what happened from then. <br /> <br />For the man she had trusted, only doubted her word, <br />And listened to a tale her abusers had spun. <br />Never giving a listen to what she had to say. <br />She pleaded with him, as he drove her away. <br />Doubting very the words that she had to say. <br /> <br />She couldn’t believe it, she never would have guessed it, <br />The man she trusted didn’t have any faith in her. <br />She stared into his eyes, as tears ran down her cheek, <br />As he left her there like an animal in a cage.<br /><br />A.M.
