You prodded me for so long I finally crashed to the ground you, relentless and persistent, as I fell without a sound Woodpeckers don't break their beaks while pecking for food in a tree but you have broken my spirit when you failed to let me be Escape from you is fruitless you’ve followed my every action I give up, I can no longer fight your passionate attraction Mindlessly I live each day freedom is a word I once knew love is just jaded memory since I felt the ‘love’ of you Death will be my final leap from the hell here in this life but hell will be a better world than this is, as your wife. |

"but hell will be a better world than this is, as your wife." This sums it up pretty well! That is exactly what I felt when I left my marraige. Death seems beautiful at the time. It's a good thing that we live in a world where that isn't our only option. Leaving and rebuilding our lives is so much more appealing. Fantanstic write!!! Just believe... |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh dear, I am so sorry you had to go through all of this but I am also so proud of you and the courage you had to stand up to him and say how you felt. (sad sigh) Love can sometimes be so hollow, but I hope now you have found a true love you can closely and comfortably relate to! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
