Always, Always, and Always

ALWAYS, ALWAYS AND ALWAYS it was your choice unfortunately to avoid seeing me I’ve had to let you stay away It was abrupt I had to walk away from you immediately you laid hands on me never again I’ll not forget the anger in your eyes that insane moment your intense rage unacceptable I’ll not forget the one standing near doing nothing he watched as I said three times “Take your hands off of me” three times Unacceptable she pulled you away she, not him I’ll not forget you are toxic too controlling too narcissistic too proud to apologize I remember I love you still forgive you if you ask time passes and passes If I pass remember I always loved you always always and always Barbara Barry-Nishanian Feb. 12, 2021 copyright All rights reserved

Oh my dear heart, if love was enough, then everyone would stay, but when there is abuse even love has no hold for that. One should never suffer abuse at the hands of another, not even for the sake of love. I have had my share of bystanders in my days, and I still wear the scars. Love and prayers of healing being sent to you today, xo

barbara, The good and the bad that hands can bring. Very interesting subject, wherever and whenever the heart is concerned. Is always as long as forever? It seems so. Well written with feeling that floats from the page. -Richard
