My letter of remembrance
Dear Abuser,
Nice to see you again,
no matter the undoubtledly awful situation.
Flowers of all kinds float around the room.
And a preacher says a prayer while everyone sobs.
Well, not me.
I will remember you,
not for your good deeds,
not for your jokes,
or your smile.
I will remember the marks you left,
the words you spoke,
the debt you never paid.
But, I will remember you.
Sincerely,
A sad, sad girl.
