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.
Thank you Dave!
