My instinct told me that he wasn’t the one for me.
I ignored it.
I was in that place of blissful ignorance and called it love.
Why was I ignoring my instinct?
My instinct told me that he was a liar and an abuser.
I ignored it.
Even after that first punch, my heart protected him.
My instinct told me to run.
The continued physical and emotional abuse had left me broken.
An empty shell.
I was dying inside.
My instinct kept telling me that one day he would kill me.
I ignored it.
Death was better than this.
I loved him.
I just had to be better.
I had to be more of what he wanted.
I had to change.
I woke up this morning and my instinct told me that today was the last day I would be alive.
I ignored it.
I laid next to him.
Watching him sleep silently.
He was beautiful.
I reached under my pillow and grabbed the blade.
I stabbed the hell out of him.
He lay choking in his own blood.
My instinct was wrong.
Today was the day he took his last breath.
Today’s post is inspired by the Daily Post. The word was instinct.

Such power and strength in your words. Having been through an abusive relationship where I also ignored instinct, I really related to this!

WWooooweee TT with all your positive posts, sometimes I forget how dark you can be.
It is probably not a good comment on my own glass half full mentality but although I’ve never experienced anything like this, I really enjoyed reading this. ~~dru~~
