Bijou Phillips

 




When asked...


  What kind of man, do you love? 


How does one wife stay? Stay??

  Through allegations 

and what does she know? 


How did you come to love, that ice cold? 

  That stare that says everything? 


Had you made a bargain? 


  I've only stumbled across you, 

A surprising find, in the matter of your husband 

I had long watched. 


  I wonder...

What did you know when you married him? 

And what did you come to find? 


  Did any of it stop you? 


There are some men, you can look in the eyes...


A guy striking gut of wrenching warning. 

  He has the eyes of a psychopath, your husband. 


  Now ex. 


And I find myself wondering how your story went? 


  What did you know and when did you know it? 


Are you innocent? 

  Did you at some point, 

      Become NOT innocent? 


What did you come to know, 

  Being married to this man? 


This I wonder. 

  Discovering your own story...


And finding you intertwined with 

  One of the great and outed perpetrators 

Of our generation? 


  A women's story....


So much her own...


  And/But


I can't help but wonder


What you came to know...


And for how long you knew it? 


  What was it like with him? 

And are you innocent in it? 


  Or....


How aware were you? 


And...


  Was any bargain made? 


Did you know who you married? 


 A question pervasive one woman to another? 


Did you know? 


  Or was it something....


That slowly unraveled with time?
