This is a powerful write Kathy. I admire the spirit that let you move on inspite of all you've endured. I also love the heart that despite its scars, still beats on warmly in love.
Hugs for your brother (literary family!!!) who loves and protects that heart that is still healing everyday...

I really like this poem Kathy!
Listen to what I understand when i read those lines:

You Gave Me Dead Flowers In The Fall - as a symbol that you are dead inside

you took the life from inside me - You tried to make me feel as you feel, dead inside
But
I have had enough
You will not hurt me again
what's left of my life is my own!

- I was always strong, forgiving and honourable when I regained my strength I decided that you are not going to take me with you in your fall because I love life and I am strong enough to live my life on my own! :)

and left me dying alone; that's all.

I left you; I'm gone; that's all.

i'm glad you're alive and well, no blood of heart nor body... i'm glad you're here on the bay with friends... and i'm glad you could vent...

i'm glad you are gone from him as well...
