Oh Maya!

Warmest of hugs. This is so sad and too familiar. Why do woman put up with this? Heartbreaking, beautifully written! 5☆

Sad and inexcusable but so well presented, as always.

Not sure why someone thinks only women who put up with this, but I agree it's heartbreaking.

Another thoughtful poem that directly hit my heart, and made me stop, sit and think.

As always, your words capture the feelings in such a powerful way.

You perfectly described my parents’ relationship. Years after the divorce, despite everything he’d done, she still wanted him back.

Your final line captures the complex emotional burden....

“The comfort of mistrust and the solace of shame.”

Powerful....

Excellent
