Match

by Ashley Graver   Aug 16, 2020


Every time I let myself fall
And every time you let me down.
Suffering at the hands of my abuser by choice,
Is like willingly setting myself on fire.
But at the end of the day
I still light the match.

    Yes indeed Ashley, that's exactly how it is isn't it.
    Very insightful and delightfully pithy.
