trust
soul~mates
holding hands
please marry me
for better or worse
i would never hurt you
i will love you forever
from now until the end of time
i love you unconditionally
i wouldn't leave you in a million years

you will not compromise with me at all
it's your way, all the way, or no way
if i don't like it i can leave
counseling...no, you wouldn't
wow, did you just hit me
i want a divorce
living alone
adjusting
heart~break
grief

hope
spirit
lessons learned
carrying on
granting myself grace
learning to love myself
creating new goals and dreams
protecting all of my treasures
being someone better than before
refusing to lay down and die...ever


.

don't wait for the storms to end~
learn how to dance in the rain...

Yo Shellie,

These are good etherees.  

Never stay around a man, or woman either, that hits you.

Love Bobby

Dear Shellie I was so relieved to read where no one hit you. If anyone does you

let me know and I'll come over and sort him out, in my dreams anyway. Nice write, love.

I like how this is a roller coaster, much like life, and the presentation kind of matches it...etheree?

i, have no problem with lowercase i's.

The rise ~ the fall ~ and then rising again like the proverbial phoenix rising out of the ashes!

btw Anyone who dared to lay a hand on our Brown-eyed Beauty, best be prepared to face an army of out-raged pipsters!

Love to you, SS,
Linda

Lesson learned gracefully, dear Shellie! Your reaction is that of a person who knows her true power, which isn't about muscles at all.

Great poem in its wholeness, though I don't know the form, the presentation is beautiful.

Love,
Margherita

I understand this completely. And, sometimes, this kind of treament
makes you wonder about this thing called "Love". Love, I thought, wasn't suppose to hurt. Those wedding vows no longer seem to mean anything to him.

As for the last part of your etheree, YOU GO GIRL! I'm doing the same thing.

Shellie~ if you ever need to talk about this, email me, I understand, I was in a verbal abuse relationship...and physical.

You be independent, strong, you are special,
and don't allow anyone to tell you different!
