She cringes and her nerves crawl to the surface of her skin. with the sound of a click on the latch of a door she can feel the heavy burden she will be struck down with by a wretched ruined man. stuck in a menacing cycle of abuse fractured boned and bloody nosed from the hands of a wretched ruined man. she still loves him. she tries to block the cutting words and the rage filled closed fists flying towards her face. living life as a slit wrist, bleeding out slowly waiting for a savior to take her from this place. stuck in a menacing cycle of abuse fractured boned and bloody nosed from the hands of a wretched ruined man. she still loves him. she can't stay with him. she's floored by a revelation. she doesn't need him. so she walks away.
