Caycay, you took purple to a whole other level with this deep look at abuse. Very well done, sweetie. Sorry it took me so long to see it. I saw your name here today and thought, gosh, I never did see her purple poem yet!

Wow CayCay! This is excellent! It shares the fears and isolation of battered women in desperate need. I hope this is a big winner! It blows mine out of the water. I haven't posted mine yet. Into my Faves with this superb entry! xxoo
