My imaginary friend and me
Flying through the air in the dead of the night
Trying to escape my harsh reality
To get away from all of my fright
My imaginary friend with no penis
The hero who kept me secure
The man in my life that wanted nothing from me
The love of my life that is pure
My imaginary friend who helped me
Cut out the eyes out of all of my bears
They’d all seen what had happened to me
I no longer wanted their stares
My imaginary friend and his kindness
Took away all the internal pain
He made me forget all the jerking inside
Made me feel clean again
My imaginary friend who I dreamt of
Even when I did not need him with me
The one who dictated our adventures
I did not need to explain he just came to get me
My imaginary friend who made it a fairy tale
Instead of the pain I felt in my bed
The one who promised I’d met my prince
Never knew it was him I wanted to wed
My imaginary friend who watched me
Helplessness and pain in his eyes
The first time I ever picked up my knife
He was the only one who heard my cries
My imaginary friend who I left behind
So he was free to go on and hold another’s hand
To take away the physical and emotional hurt
That only the abused understand
My imaginary friend at the window
The one who I love the most
I wish we could have been together forever
My haunting, my love, my friendly ghost
I left him behind the day that my abuser died, but this is for you honey, for being the best thing that ever happened in my life. Rach xx
