I Saw No Other Way

From my seat on the airplane I watch the years drop away below The man with whom i shared a bed.  towels, salads, a seat on the sofa. He says i was too hasty but I felt strangled there. The longer i stayed, I was heading toward darkness. He doesn't understand why I had to be so hasty. I felt a noose around my neck. Hard isolation, such limitation, a kind of prison that was pulling me down. Now is when i needed to leave Yesterday For some deep gut level reasons that I'm not sure I fully understand yet From some inner place, a healing of self I suspect that some inner sense guided me Against his usually good judgement. But I have to remember who I am again I saw no other way
