MINE
Afraid to move
Did I want some thing to happen
Did I think you would change
Did I believe if I moved
I would explode
I endured bullets, bombs, rockets,
M 80's shoved down my ears
Until I was in tears
Feared of
fearless cares
Nothing I could hear
Because we were not a pair
Invisible ropes hung me day and night
I could not fight
Drowning and unspeakable things A blind eye saw
Scars ripped me to the core
Did I think I would explode
If I walked away
What would of happened if I left
I would be alone
Someone else would give you a home
I Can't move!
Hand me your phone!
I reached out my Arms
I Surrender
"My child
Here's your suit of armor
And your helmet
This too
I render
Your sword is place at feet
I heard you when you gave in
I'm here to help you I'm your friend
I finally moved
And once I took my foot off the mine
The only thing exploded was you
So what was I afraid of
why did I stay
I wish someone told me
at that time
that a controlling man
could feel like
you're standing on a mine.

Dear S,
Powerful write. It made me think how astounding human behavior is when the bully is the real scaredy cat. Your authors note is as compelling as the poem. Brava. H🌷

Thank you H
I couldn't find words for a long time and I don't feel pain anymore I'm angry but Im in control and I turn it into love because if I ever get the opportunity to do it again "Love" that is. I don't want to make him pay for someone else's mistakes.
