BROKEN RECORDS

e p i l o g u e

i never once  b e l o n g e d to y o u.

i'm finally able to realize that.
after your incarceration, i became
someone you never thought i could be.

a woman of e x c e l l e n c e.

and these past few years,
i've neglected your reality;
i've refused your friendship;
i've accepted your absolution.

because i'd found it.
my glorious  f r e e d o m.

and today, i can't
possibly seem to fathom
why i ever would've wanted

to be  y o u r s.
