An eternity it was ...

And an eternity it was.....

.... I could feel myself losing my breath. But I couldn't give up! This was MY life, and I was taking it back!!I stared him in the eye.... The Meteor, that came crashing into my life, destroying it, destroying me every time he spoke to me, every time he put his hands on me. I was so angry! Angry that he would be the one to say he would leave! Angry that it had taken until my very life was at stake to FINALLY stand up for MY SELF! Angry that I had allowed this sorry excuse for a man make a fool out of me time and again!Enough was enough. He continued to hold me by the throat, as I struggled to breath. I struggled to speak, and every word I spoke, weakened him. I didn't cry. I didn't blink. I stated the facts, and for once remained calm and rational. I stared into his eyes, reminding him that prison will be tough. Reminding him that he was committing a crime, and that it was I who held HIS fate in MY hands. The very thing he was trying to destroy WILL destroy him, and that THING .... was me. He let me go and ran out of the house. I lunged for the phone and dialed the police, they asked me to remain on the line until the officers reached me. I did. Things were different after that.
