The vase he threw
was not to express
his anger or frustration
my dear girl, it was
- Intimidation
the hollow apology
was not to undo the harm
but dear naive girl, it was
- Manipulation
the counting of
your "inadequacies"
was not to improve you
but - Humiliation
the keeping you away
the don't go anywhere, stay
was not to protect you
it was subtle Isolation
the threats of harm
to self and/you
to frighten and terrorize,
the loud voice and
sometimes the silence
the gaze, the body language
to coerce and threaten
Dear blinded in love
remove the tinted glasses
and see it as it were
a cycle of abuse
the silence before
the eye of the storm
and the honeymoon
over and over
in a vicious gyre
Dear girl
Inhale strength
the silence before
the eye of the storm
and the honeymoon
over and over
in a vicious gyre
Dear girl
Inhale strength
Spit fire.
