One reading could lend itself to a depiction of an abusive relationship.<br /><br />A second reading could lend itself to an imagined abusive relationship with hope itself. Where in Hope from your first line is actually the human form of that concept. In that regard, I found this to be a fascinating commentary on how we allow hope and faith to abuse us. <br /><br />Thank you so much for putting such complexities to my image. viva laIsadora Gruyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036782300945079952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-18454508553966110832012-01-17T00:07:18.169-05:002012-01-17T00:07:18.169-05:00This may not have happened to you but you gave you...This may not have happened to you but you gave your words excellent voice.
