I broke his shell.
Once he cracked,
There was no turning back
when he released his inner hell.
Earning my money,
I did not back down
from his hurtful adjectives and nouns.
At least now it's funny.

...

I sit in comfort
pondering this ending day
and hope that tomorrow will,
at least,
end the same way,
with my love at my side
saying everything will be okay -
And I coincide.
