A woman's Love

[Erthona]

BF,

Thanks for your comments.

"(this line confused me as the prior line ended in "deep" and this line begins the same way;"

That's a valid point, probably need to change that.
-------------------------------------------------------
"(should nettles be possessive?)"

Good catch, yes that should be possessive.
---------------------------------------------------------

Distance refers to emotional distance, not physical. This is about a woman in an abusive relationship who finally cracks,

"too long hanging on this edge,
has broken me until I’m whole."

and she kills him:

"In the silence of our madness,
not a movement, not a creep.
My strong steed you’ve broke’ your leg,
I do the deed, put you to sleep."

By doing so she "steals" his love.

"Can you sense me spiral down?
A falcon that was once a dove:
incognito, I am falling,
savor it, I steal your love?"

She, who was once a dove, "prey", now becomes a falcon, "predator". In other words the roles reverse.

I had thought this was fairly clear, but from the comments I am getting, it seems that it is not from all of the comments. I guess I will set it aside for awhile, and then see what I can do to make it more clear, and maybe less "meh"
