No Longer

  • shhhh! If you're quiet you will hear the sound of my heart breaking.

No Longer

No longer
will I cry because of you!

No longer
will I believe the cruel words
that once came from your mouth.

No longer
will I loose sleep
wondering where you are.

No longer
will I fear you!

No longer
will you have any power
over me.

From now on
I will laugh more.

From now on
I will believe in myself.

From now on
I will rest soundly.

From now on
I won't live in fear.

From now on
I will live again!

I liked the flow of this. You set us up with what you no longer will put up with, and then talked about your moving forward, right up until the point where you experience life again.

Thank you for your comment. Yes I did seek help after I left an abusive husband. I'm doing better now. I regret that I put up with it so long.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
