i started to explain
not that
    i
see a need to
but rules are rules
i...
i ..was..only...
and right there i was stopped
no use trying to scale
the brick wall of your
     Screaming
     Silence
your eyes drill right through me
as if i don’t matter
     You
     Are
     Out
     Of
     Order
     I did Not
     Grant Permission for
     This
and your eyes take on a look of disgust
     Freedom
     Who...
     Do...
     you...
     Think you are?
it will not be tolerated
     period
blank eyes stare
into the steely silence
that will be the sentence
until or if
i
choose
to return to
     Order

Partnership dismissed
Control reigns silent
the wall stands Soberly sovereign

Yanno, Corazon - If you were a guy, I'd think you had just been rebuked!  lol - You've done a great job of using structure to add more than just words to this poem.  I could feel the hostility and sense the timing of the words.  Great job!

let me ask you this, corazon.... how well do you know my ex-husband?????? ROFL... hehe

Damn, girl! This poem rocks! This is one hard hitter and again, i'm telling you.... when i read your words, it's like looking in a mirror....

this is haunting verse filled with honesty, anger and bitterness..... but leaving a final tone that things will be resolved and everything will be ok soon....

Thanks for a great read!

Corazon looks like you are stuck with another one of those controlling, manipulating, aggravating, irritating kind of men...or are you?    James
