I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who
Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
Set me adrift
As a snow dressed memory
Seal me with your troubles
Encased by your misery
Watch me float away
As your pain subsides
The cold sea will engulf me
Bless you, love of my life
The snow soon turns to rain
And the chill permeates my skin
I'm crystallized in this frozen grave
Lost in a sepulcher of ice
We both knew what was right
And you knew all along
My death would bring us joy
How could we have waited so long?
Fashioned by blood and tears
All your efforts were in vain
We could have lived forever
But died just the same
As a snow dressed memory
Seal me with your troubles
Encased by your misery
Watch me float away
As your pain subsides
The cold sea will engulf me
Bless you, love of my life
The snow soon turns to rain
And the chill permeates my skin
I'm crystallized in this frozen grave
Lost in a sepulcher of ice
We both knew what was right
And you knew all along
My death would bring us joy
How could we have waited so long?
Fashioned by blood and tears
All your efforts were in vain
We could have lived forever
But died just the same
