he wears her like br the badge of honorable br abuse.... br br silently listening br to her rantings, br picking her up br br when she falls. br layers of anger br misdirected to him.... br br yet he takes the blame br without complaining, br and keeps on..... br br till too long ignored, br too long in the silence... br he walks out the door, br br without a word. br love's not a badge, br not even a cross...
