Again

I like the angle of this, the description of that moment of walking truly away from a relationship and into one's own strength. I like the clarity of the first stanza, which highlights the main weaknesses of people who stay together who shouldn't.

The second stanza reads like sparks and love gone wrong, and of the singular hell that such a situation creates. Those silences are hell. I do wonder if "stretch" should be "stretched," as it reads to me like a description of what has passed.

Not sure about the last stanza, with the robe falling after all the unequivocal "No's."
