Questions
What is missing inside of me
that refuses to believe
I am worth more?
That this treatment
I have received
is acceptable?
Instead of being taken
to the top of the mountain
I was left to rot in a ditch
Declarations of love
Duplicitous, dishonorable
yet believable
Now I am a warrior
fighting for her life
with amputated limbs
My heart in need of healing
Doubting and doubtful
Scarred with cynicism
Why do I fear abandonment
by someone capable
of delivering cruelty?

“Why do I fear abandonment
by someone capable
of delivering cruelty?”

Many questions and few answers. Such is life.
Well done.
