Today

Today

Is my second wedding anniversary

And I remember the day

As though it were yesterday

When then I could have chosen a different path.

Instead I live with the echoes of

My husband’s anger

That day

While yet I had time

To have walked away

Before I had dressed

When he shouted

At me to

Shut Up.
