You shout and tell me it’s not fair,
To give you one more chance, to dare.
That moon and all the stars are mine,
If I bow down just one more time.
The song you sing I’ve heard before:
The moon, the stars and even more.
Your god is chaos, broken dreams.
You’ll find your way,
Or not, it seems.
I walk away through icy snow: one bag, my pet, and yes, my soul.

I loved this! It speaks not only to the strength needed to walk out of an abusive relationship, but the hope as well.

Good she left with some important things, especially her soul. Sometimes you have to walk away.

Great work, Liz. I shame the pet wasn’t a Rottweiler. 😉

Most excellent, Liz. The strength to stand alone is no sacrifice even if left only with a bag, a pet and your soul. There is more security and comfort in those 3 objects than anything (self) compromise could offer.
