Jill Martin Poet Free verse

Almost Got Me

Stretched beyond limits
    of ability
to participate in
open heart
    nakedness
rebuilding
dead bolted
     resolution
     to
never
     be 
        here
           again
by myself
     without
[hated] cynicism firmly
     in place
in overanxious
anticipation
of indefensible abuse
    by
your diligent perseverance
to turn
me
into a
  fiercely hated
         H E R

I feel safe here
Far.
Removed.
From.
You.
