Angie
So, there’s this girl, let’s name her Angie
Angie has been through many trials
From physical and sexual abuse
To illness and daddy issues
The ones who were supposed to protect her
Broke her
Poor Angie
Let’s take it back to when Angie was 17, she met a guy
Let’s name him Charlie
Charlie had kind eyes
Beautiful smile
And lips so juicy she just wanted to kiss
Angie and Charlie would talk on the phone every single night
The moment she decided to give herself to him
He changed her whole life
She believed she had a good man
A kindred spirit
When sickness controlled her body
He took care of her
Through each surgery he was there
Feeding her, bathing her, dressing her
Even wiping her tears
Unfortunately, as the old saying goes
“It’s quiet before the storm “
She never knew the man she loved could be so cruel
Of course, there were signs
But she was in love, so she was blind
Angie’s family adored him, and Charlie’s family welcomed her
Friends assumed they were the perfect couple
Everything was so damn “PERFECT” right?
Poor Angie
Charlie insisted on entertaining other women
This left Angie feeling unloved, unwanted, ugly, and unworthy
The first time he hit her, those kind eyes turned black
She became afraid of a man she once trusted with her life
Friends begged her to leave but it was too late
Angie was in love
She thought if she was better
Charlie would change
Poor Angie
After years of abuse, other women, unexplainable bruises
Weight loss and depression
She looked in the mirror and no longer recognized herself
She didn’t even want to live anymore
Despite the odds, she pulled herself out of sorrow
Go Angie!
Things were decent with Charlie for a while
She convinced herself he had changed
Once again, he slipped up
Now Angie is living far away from him
Near the captivating ocean
Just 21, single, and made friends
She is finally happy
The joy that was drained from her life
Came back times two
She finally found peace with him out of the picture
Although, she still wasn’t fully over what Charlie put her through
She began going out, drinking, and receiving a lot of attention
She felt pretty again
Charlie always made her feel so low
She ignored compliments from others
Now she’s feeling so high
She’s on top of the world
Even her friends notice she had this glow
Angie met a guy
Let’s name him Jimmy
Jimmy was so different from Charlie
Dreads in his head, gold in his grill, covered in tattoos
And the most magnetic eyes she had ever stared into
Angie loved his vibe
He was so relaxed, down to earth
And when he smiled he bit his bottom lip
This drove her crazy!
She tried to resist it but there was no fighting it
She fell for him
She trusted him with her life
For the first time she felt safe
She just knew he would never hurt her like Charlie did
Well, once again poor Angie was a fool
He was entertaining other women
Began verbally abusing her
Constantly putting her down
She started to feel herself slipping away
Poor Angie
So many nights of tears
This was fucking Déjà vu
Angie began feeling unworthy again
Jimmy broke her heart
For some reason she stayed anyways
Telling herself if she was better he would change
Of course, she was wrong again
Angie is now done with Jimmy
That was heartbreak number two
Now she’s on her knees crying
GOD WHY!?!?
She would rather be sick in the hospital with I. V’s
Begging the doctor, “Please cut this heart out of me
I don’t want it anymore”
In the shower crying so hard she can’t breathe
Feels like the walls are closing in
Poor Angie
She looked in the mirror but this time it was different
She wiped her tears and she could feel her heart shrink
At that exact moment the old Angie died
The good girl was gone
Something evil took over her
She made a vow to never love again
She smiled an evil grin
From now on, all men need to proceed with caution
Angie is no longer interested in what’s on your mind or in your heart
She is focused on your wallet
Take her shopping, on trips, first class only, of course
Never get to close
She will break your heart with no remorse
Vanish without a trace
She becomes a ghost
Angie is going to push away every man that comes her way
She’s aware of that but she would rather be alone than heartbroken
One thing no one will ever say again is, poor Angie
Moral of the story is
Never treat a good girl like shit
Imagine this
You see her five years later thinking, damn she’s still got it
But that heart that used to beat for you is now rock solid
And if you haven’t figured this out by now……
Hi, I’m Angie….
