You were shiny, you were new.
Then you cracked, I was glue.
What you knotted, I’d undo.
What you needed, I pursued.
If you tore, I could stitch.
When you broke, I would fix.
If you crumbled, I could patch.
When you stumbled, I would catch.
You leave me, I follow.
You poison, I swallow.
You cry, blame the stars, the past.
I can take it, I can last.
Take your swings, I can duck.
Tear me down, I’m still stuck.
Shred my wings and laugh out loud.
Hold them up to please the crowd.
I am humbled, I am broken.
I am words that hate to be spoken.
Love is bruised, body worn.
Patience thin, mind is torn.
I hope you fly, hope you soar.
Wish you peace and so much more.
You don’t learn, you won’t hear.
Don’t fall now, I’m not near.
Love this. You write some great poetry. I’m a fan of the stuff on my site as well.
Thanks so much :) I like the stuff on your site too.
