Like a fool
I let you in
I forgot the taste
of your poison
I drank it down
eagerly
My heart in the line
of fire
At this distance
I thought I was safe
Not so
My heart should
listen to my head
Your poison still
cuts as deep
as ever
Never again

You captivated
beguiled.
Swept away
passion
bliss.
Promises made.
Lies
easily told.
Awakened
to the
empty.
Searching for
the why.
Aching.
Agonized.
Bruised.
Seeing her
Answers
the question.
You were
the
Perfect
Stranger.

Guarded
Wrapped in chains
created by bouts
of betrayal
Walls built high
and higher still
Overlooking a valley
of deluded dreams
and forgotten covenant
Sweat
Beads along brow
Never ending battle
Fear born of deception
Exhaustion from defense
Defense from pain
Pain from defense

*We work so hard at guarding ourselves against pain that we cause more pain in the process. True, it doesn’t get in, but what else are we keeping out?
You held something
Precious.
Something timeless.
No idea
Of it’s worth.
You turned your back
To wear
The next
Sparkling
Jewel.
