Oaths

Catgotthecream

 Decaying flowered, as plucked petals devoured 

 

oaths in plenty, executed sanctions wipe empty 

 

robust bridges burned; tallied isolation earned  

 

mind in operation of primed exoneration  

 

duty to thee scoring my identity 

 

my ride or die, of burdened supply  

 

could I recall being me, if advocated free?

    Thought provoking write Alex. The last line especially. ; )

    Thank you very much AP 🙂

    Your piece describes the multi faceted nature of domestic abuse – broken understandings and promises (vows for some), early rationalization and loss of identity – long term psychological damage.
    Violence, of course, may or may not be a component.
    Thanks for putting it out there, Alex.
