Dating a Drunk

What’s a time you ignored your gut — and paid for it?

I knew that my boyfriend was a raging alcoholic but I didn’t know that he had a capacity for violence until he kicked my car door in just because I didn’t want to stay the night (because he was too drunk).

I forgave him. It ended with a metal baseball bat being swung and hitting right beside my head. Then one night he head butted me, knocking me unconscious. When I came to he was tapping a knife on his mantle and threatening to kill me.

Enough said?

In Arabic, Ayesha means Life--I am Woman--of Poetry, Poetic Prose, Photography, and the Creation of All of My Dreams, all of which end in Artistry. I have often been referred to as Enigmatic and Magnetic, but also Selfless ("to a fault"). Some call me an "m-path" because I am highly compassionate. I sincerely hope that you enjoy all that I have to offer. Thank you for taking the time to Read Me. I am Proud. I am Ayesha. With Love, Ayesha R. Gill عايشة رامازاً جل
