This is an extremely revolutionary perspective that you took on as the narrator of this poem. Extraordinary, Charlotte. Like a nighttime day-dream, it runs very fluidly. That last stanza is marvellous. THIS is your poetry.. beautiful.

and to feel an angel's light,
is too much for the godless heart

In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.
'Better Without You'is a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of an affair, hidden secrets, and abuse. It also highlights a daughter's heartfelt journey as she cares for her mother who is battling dementia.
