let Me tell you what i remember.
. begging for a conversation; connection.
. crying when the babies got taken away.
. throwing dinner parties.
. shopping on wobbly legs.
. paying the backlog of rent.
. walking to work.
. waiting for hours.
. cowering.
. being throttled.
. sitting alone.
. being told to cover up.
. feeling ashamed.
. doing family events, alone.
. trying.
. trying harder.
let Me tell you what i remember.
. you playing X-box
. you banging on the windows.
. you picking fights.
. you bad mouthing Me to my children.
. you saying my hair looked awful.
. you telling Me to wear something less slutty.
. you leaving.
. you ignoring.
. you helping everyone but Me.
. you, and Me, in court.
. you kneeling.
. you dropping Me off.
. you chipping away at my confidence.
. you criticising absolutely everything about Me.
. you taking.
thats what i remember.
