Today

Poem about an abusive relationship. Inspired by W.H. Auden

Today I am free and no longer need your freedom.

I am alive and no longer need your support.

Today I am independent and no longer need your hand.

Today you are alone and no longer stand beside you.

You are empty without me to fill the void.

Today and forevermore, you will regret, but I will be able to break free.

And then the dead are really dead.
