Unsafe Harbor

You promised to love me

and to protect me always

Through thick and thin

for the rest of our days

 

However you lied to me

and my heart was broken

I harbor no ill will toward you, but

another word will never be spoken

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

  2. Oh…..the lover who betrayed….the safe harbor that proves its true colors and hurts, and scars. This is a sad tale you’ve wrought here. It is the healing that takes the time. . . and somehow getting one’s moorings back . . . to be secure in the floating as an island so to speak.
