A Link On the Brink

As  you watched the abuse carried out,
My soul was broken, no doubt.

A connection can never be made,
As my nurturer and protector, I was betrayed. 

Setting the stage for scant regard, 
Not knowing how to protect myself by putting up my guard.

No loving childhood remembrances,
No I love you or tender embraces.

I finally had to let go and grieve,
It will never be the relationship I believe.

In order to begin the healing process,
I had to step away and decompress.
