Reasons behind the decision

Such a vibrant woman
so full of potential
so much love to give

i watched her
slowly over the years
as she began to break

i watched her
fix a plastic smile
build perfect masks and glass eyes

i watched her
always playing charades
pretending to be at peace

i watched her
cover up bruises
on her skin and her heart

i watched her
stand so perfectly still
allowing every blow he inflicted

i watched her
gaze out the window
with long glazed over eyes

i watched her
as the light left her soul
leaving her bitter and cold

i watched her
love to turn hate
happiness turn to depression

i watched her
as her life was smashed to pieces
maybe thats why she decided to leave?
