oh, the bile spewed by a lamb with no limb to stand.  
it thinks itself a wolf with jelly fangs, bark but incapable of bite.

and oh, how simple, how fragile this heart has become.  
to attempt to set down the claws, to forget the desperation  
 of survival and the mistrust of those until proven so.  
 and yet, they slipped past your radar - such a clever little lamb.

and the words, they burrow like earwigs, whispering,  
whispering, whispering. they want you to call an end,  
take your final bow. [how could one little lamb reduce  
you to this?]
and to forget the pinnacle you have already climbed.

it takes you a moment, a brief moment of staring  
at the yawning abyss, to be reclaimed, to be pulled,  
to be reminded.. that the words of this little lamb,  
with no limb to stand, with only their words at their disposal.  
 
to walk away, you can, you will. but it will always leave  
you wondering in the crawling dark, what was truly your  
crime other than opening the eyes of those the little lamb  
thought complacent, to whom they refused to relinquish.  
 
it was your voice that set them free.

Author's Note
for reasons beyond my comprehension, i discovered my best friend's mom has some 'opinions' about me. and because i refuse to allow her son to deal with her emotional abuse, including helping him find a partner, told me i wasn't worthy of my husband who also had heavy hand in helping our friend - she has lashed out on me. however, she will learn that i am not a person to be insulted lightly, this shook me to my core; i have regained my sense of self worth.
