Flames In The Shadows.
Poet’s Notes:
This sonnet is born from the experience of having an abusive ex invade my life in the most personal way, stealing my phones and sending cruel messages to my friends and family. The damage this caused was immense and lingers to this day. Amid the chaos, I hold onto the memory of my father, who passed away after we reconciled and became best friends again, and the light of forgiveness that slowly mends what was broken. The poem reflects the tension between anger, helplessness, and the choice to focus on love and hope for the future.
