Who Am I

And then it happened She awoke one day and she was painfully aware that something in her had died Something she thought was the strongest force on the earth. Something she thought was indestructible. She thought her feet were rooted securely in his unwavering strength. But his disrespect, his coldness and his impatience started to cause the foundation to crumble The begging, the crying, the pleading for his attention caused her to no longer recognize herself in the mirror. Followed by his unending silence and indifference to her needs. Sleep no longer came. Only thoughts of self hate for allowing someone to treat her so badly. All in the name of love. The same love that a month earlier had caused her so much joy, now caused her to drown in wave after wave of grief.
