Desperate to Forget

by Shonda Creemer

you gave me
bottled up promises
broken by your lies

left me shivering
in my soul
longing for a peace

you are not worthy
of these tears
washing my dreams away

nor the satisfaction
of my wounded life
trying to pick up the pieces

sometimes
I wonder if you realized
how tenderly I let you
walk upon my heart

teasing me
with a false love
playing
catch me if you can

now tell me...
How do I make this all just disappear?

Ouch. These wounds I know too well. They do heal....just takes more time than we like to allow.

Writing cleanses you so you can move on. Great Work!
