When The Decision Was Made
The consequences of one’s actions
Just a few weeks before Christmas, the chips fell where they lay,
A hasty message was sent in anger, giving her no opportunity to respond,
Blocked — access denied!
His wrath thrown down across the distance,
In classic stupidity style.
A week of cowardice ensued, the gauntlet thrown down,
He thought he held the upper hand,
Isn’t he in for a surprise?
He corked the bottle on communication,
Effectively cutting her off at the knees!
Left to her own devices, she gave it considerable thought,
He stopped her from voicing her opinion, her concerns,
Disrespected her on every level,
While writing disparaging comments on her wall,
Bringing the world into his one-sided conversation.
She realised the futility of her efforts and took the plunge,
Spoke to a professional and put all her ducks in a row,
Over the course of the week in which he’d silenced her voice,
Plans where laid, paperwork completed,
The future forever changed!
