Notice of absence from LIZ
PEACE, LOVE, LIGHT!
PEACE, LOVE, LIGHT!
You crashed my door and broke the hinge. The lock fell off and terror breached. I fanned my hopes to keep the peace, but there was much I couldn't see.
With all the smoke I couldn't breathe. My heart polluting from the mist. I opened windows, coughing dreams, gasping for air I couldn't reach.
I realized I had to leave, and crawled my way out of the pit. My soul exhausted from the heat, withdrew my love out of your grip.

Words written vividly about toxic love-thanks for sharing…
You're absolutely right!! Thank you!!!
this is superb and on so any levels .. firstly as a poem and in its very own write, it can clearly hold it's head above water ..
and then as an expression of your own achievement and dynamic recovery ..
Like I said .. superb LIZ and keep that head held high 💜
Ah Neville! I appreciate and respect you more than you know. This means a lot to me! Thank you 💜
A good writing liz tho sad . It’s good to get away from those things that are not wanted / or feel harmful . Sounds intrusive / and unhealthy
Absolutely! Fighting and crying, but must be done. Thank you very much! 💋
Very strong emotive words LIZ.

I was only trying to save ya from the fire that broke out in the building.
Of course, this is the only way I see this poem, in me sheltered life. heehee.
You took too long LOL😆 AND ummmm you see a lot more than that....I SEE YOU! 👀
Oh Liz, love can bring us pouring our guts out into a drain, but in the end we are strong we get up we move on and if we are really lucky as we both are, we get to write about that moment and share with others who may never have experienced such, and I hope they never do. I will survive, yes you did. 💖
😭😭😭😭😭 Teddy!!! Yes!!! This isn't something I want anyone to relate to. Too painful. BUT, a huge learning experience! Thank you for your kind words!!! 💖💖

' Sorry to be a party pooper, but you could do with being more selective with respect to whom you relate to initially.........
Not a party pooper at all! I appreciate your honesty. Thank you!

loving the tight rhyme scheme
such ease in your poetic flow
and yes
those who love without brakes
must first, learn to survive!
soar then Phoenix heart
shine evergreen Bright
let them all regret
allowing you to escape
and evolve, beyond
grasp, of their regret charred
fingers and heart..
fools
Thank you very much! "those who love without brakes must first, learn to survive!"--you're not kidding!!! Oh but once we're 'awakened'....it's on!!! Happy Monday!!!
I knew you'd be selective enough to associate with me! 😁🤣
Duh! Or is it doh?!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think it takes great courage to end an abusive relationship, as you have described here. Kudos my friend for your strength, and resiliency in writing this poem.
I appreciate that Bella!! Thank you!!! 💋
Cutting the cords of toxic love takes but also gives great strength.
Great write!
