You are so powerful Too strong for me. I want to embrace you, But from you I flee. You threaten to hurt me Or maybe even kill, Our relationship suffers, I have lost the will. I must leave you soon And save me from you. Until you die or move on So long Matthew.

No, he hasn't got here yet. He is still bombarding Florida.

I liked the poem and the indecision it talks about in a tough moment.

It was a tough decision, but I do not regret leaving.

He played very dirty, but he could have played a lot dirtier.

That's a wonderful poem about that harmful storm. I'm glad you're a survivor.
