Strong To My Core
I'm impressed with the ease by which
you could sit back and idly observe,
while I was degraded and demeaned
by he who attempted to create the illusion
of superiority
His antagonistic approach?
Clearly and purposely personal,
far beyond the realm of necessity,
complete with snide comments
and a mocking smirk
I may have stumbled, wavered
and lost balance...
...even questioned my value
as a woman
...But I did not crumble
You may have shattered my heart,
my dreams, my love...
...But you clarified any doubts
I may have had that there was love
for me within your cold heart...
...And that, alone, was worth
all the heartache...
