Poem #87
Once
you swore
to hold me close
evermore
Now
I am
doomed to not knowing
anymore
The little
girl
laid waste, beaten & broken
upon the floor
The promise -
the promise
forsaken
stupid girl went back for more
Love's
enduring
flame
burns bright
Despite the
cruelty
of the dreams
each night
Bits
and pieces
of my heart
tattern
Pinned back
together
with delicate bits of glass
in pattern
I hate what
I allowed
to be
done to me
The fault
tho be mine
for this
I offered up the key
