She looks in the mirror, seems vaguely familiar
like steam on the glass, shame covers her past
the fog slithers down, as evil surrounds
His worst fantasy, her reality
*
he pulls the strings, does unspeakable things
a sadistic entrance, for his acceptance
*
Smothered by control, a tormented soul
trapped in his castle
Her tears rolling mist, proof she exists
in snow white darkness
*
Clouds of confusion, rolled into illusion
He veils perversion, forcing her coercion
her body he takes, while she flies away
unbelieveable, she’s invisible
*
love is the shadow, that darkens her window
she’s crying for help, to escape her hell
*Â
Smothered by control, a tormented soul
trapped in his castle
Her tears rolling mist, proof she exists
in snow white darkness
*
she hides in the fog, drinks hair of the dog
hates her behavior, craves one to save her
*
Smothered by control, a tormented soul
trapped in his castle
Her tears rolling mist, proof she exists
in snow white darkness

This is so powerful. The words “Her tears rolling mist, proof she exists” particularly stood out for me
Thank you, sometimes it felt like that. I’m glad these days are over. God can and does restore all things. I appreciate your thoughts beautiful. 😉
Absolutely love this. I was going to do the same thing with this topic but did not have time so I am so glad that you did it. No one who has lived in fear ever finds fear fun again no matter what the situation. Thanks for all that you do sister!!!
Thank you Angel, I am so grateful for you!
Beautiful Diana, always so beautiful and meaningful! Hugs and blessings my sister! God bless!
Thank you Wendall, you are such an encouragement to us.
I indeed like this song, however I am petrified to be scared. Hugs my friend.
(((hugs))) to you too 😉
I like this song. I don’t like to be scared. But I do enjoy mysteries. I like to figure out the who dunnits.
As a survivor of PTSD, I need to ask. Do you have flashbacks of terror when you find yourself stuck in a scary movie?
I would imagine that could trigger all sorts of needless emotions for a victim of domestic abuse.
I can’t watch scenes in films where someone falls to their death, or a film that contains a scene of someone falling from great heights. If I don’t stop myself, my head can go into instant replay of some of the fallers I ,helplessly, watched on 09/11. These instances almost always lead to migraine headaches.
I understand t. I am sensitive when it comes to movies that show a woman being hurt or abused by a man. There have been times I will just change the channel because it does trigger old feelings and emotions.
I’m not sure how to “fix” this. Guess God will have to heal those old wounds in time. I don’t like the instant panic that comes either.
