DEEPENING Its hard letting go Of someone you love Despite the chaos Turmoil Pain Of abuse Wilfully done To tame Even against non-consent Shouted down protests And the anger Conditioning Controlling Limerence Trauma bonding Unable to let go Of the attachment Which the same person And her flying monkeys Describe as a disorder Refuse to accept accountability Knowing gleefully She did this to me On purpose To stop me escaping After months of no contact The need to be with her Is constant My mind and the advice Of therapists, counsellors, friends, experts Is have nothing to do with her Be grateful I got out They cannot understand How badly I need to be with her How constant the thoughts of her are Hoping she is okay Missing her Is physical pain Emotional and mental anguish For most of the year She was hell to be with Stress based I had two breakdowns in that time Because of her behaviour I rebuilt myself Stronger than ever And yet I cannot let go She has done this to other men Ther
