Love Love Love it! Great use of words!

Well...it seems to me this lady is not treating you very well at all..I have no idea if this is a figurative speech or something more concrete..but it really struck me as intensely sad.

Good wording, though..you are a gifted writer.

God bless,

5/5 Ingrid

ps: Sorry it took me so long to return the read, your poems are well worth it!

I can't quite tell if you loathe or love the "whip" - Perhaps a little of both? Either way, a compelling piece.

Oh, the interpretations that this poem creates in my mind! A wonderful read ... before bed. lol Maybe I better check out something light first. So many lines grabbed me but I do love "the dawn is my witness". :)
