    I’m Not Coming Back

    When it’s all done, when it’s all said, I can’t let myself go back again. You let me believe I was broken. The lies were spoken with such conviction that I believed them. I trusted every word from you. My trust in you was misplaced. At first, the abuse was not recognized. Not by me, ...
