males who commit acts
of stalking and domestic violence and other forms of spousal abuse.

"take A life away,"
Refers to the destruction
Of a life. As in the damages

life habits, interests, and the other points of a victim's life, which make up who that victim is in her life.
______________
BEFORE
You play --
Your games
________________
"play your games," refers
to all of the head games,
control games, dominance games,coercion games and similar abusive games, which oftentimes lead to acts of physical abuse and/or neglect of the grown males responsibility as a decent and mature being. This also refers to males who commit acts of domestic violence.
________________
Over years
Y-E-A-R-S
________________
"years" and "Y-E-A-R-S"
refers to the time span during which the maltreatment perpetrated by an abusive grown male lasts. This time span effects the resulting damages suffered by the female victim.
_______________
You cannot --
Give it back

Refers to the fact that
once a victim's life is damaged the grown male abuser cannot repair the ruins he has created in the victim's life.
______________
You cannot --
Return what
You've taken
______________
Refers to the female victim's
quality of life which the
perpetrator cannot return to her unscathed.
_______________
Out of your --
Blind greed
_________________
Refers to the fact that the adult male abuser has destroyed the adult female victim's life due to his blind
greed for power, control and other empty gains that in the end give even the abuser nothing.
__________________
For nothing
Nothing gained
_________________
Refers to the fact that the male abuser has destroyed the female victim's life due to his blind greed for power, control and other empty gains that in the end give even the abuser nothing.
__________________
You cannot --
Give it back
________________
Refers to the fact that
once a victim's life is damaged the grown male abuser cannot repair the ruins he has created in the victim's life. In the end, the abuser looks upon the ruins
He has created and sees it
As empty, even he has not
Truly benefited. Despite how he believed he would benefit
from gaining his objectives
over the victim's life, in
the end he has nothing
to show for it beyond the
Unsightly and vacant
Rubble. This clarity does
NOT arrive for many stalkers.
_______________
All those --
Abusive males
_______________
"Abusive males," in this work
and in all of the works by this author,refers to grown men who are abusive.
In this specific work, the term also reflects only grown adult males who mistreat grown adult females.
_______________
You better --
Think twice
____________
"You better think twice,"
refers to the fact that what
looks appealing to the
abusive grown male in his
frenzy does not always appear
so appealing later on.
Later on his actions
do not give him what he thought they would give him. Again, this clarity oftentimes fails to dawn upon
individual males who are stalkers.
_____________
BEFORE
_____________
"BEFORE" refers to the
idea that it would be better
for the abusive grown male
to carefully consider his
behaviors and destructive impulses
before he perpetrates. This way he
can seek help, from professionals
if necessary, or from support groups,
to prevent any long-term
damages from occurring in his victim's life
and oftentimes in his own life
as well. The consequences to the
perpetrator's life can be severe as
he may eventually wake up to find he
has nothing left beyond the damages
he has created through his abusive
behaviors. The glee he might
have felt while perpetrating, or the insecurity
he may have sought to sooth through abusing,
becomes a wound on the perpetrator's own soul. 
______________
You do it.
_____________
"You" refers to the abusive male.
