that night
one-on-one
that night
pain and suffering
that night.
I can tell you
firsthand
the devastating impact.
Life has been deeply altered forever.
Every waking minute is consumed
with worry
anxiety
fear
and depression.
He walks.
I hide.
He consumes.
Broken
shattered
in so many ways.
20 minutes of
forever,
incarceration
violent.
So many dangers.
Break the cycle.
