What do you do when your trust has been destroyed
How to you get over being used as a pawn or toy
The hurt from the past that has never faded
Frozen heart, beyond the simpleness of jaded
Hopeful words, admiring eyes, warm smiles, friendly hugs
met with smooth practiced responses, cynical mental shrugs
Outwardly flirty, a hint of naughty, hot, intriguingly cold
They're the conquering hero, territory bought, but not sold
Under soft flesh, protected by a thick, titanium core
Detached mind notes: Cupid's arrows, such a bore
As the volley flew in total desperation
A piece cracked under the assault's vibration
Can the fire at the weapons' tip, at this point, really matter?
Can it melt her enough so she doesn't completely shatter?
No, it's too late, razor thin shards carpet the ground
follow the bloody trail, but please,
don't make a sound...
Sono you have talent when you're impassioned.

Hah sounds like Jeff
Awesome lines.
ReplyDeleteA hurt, wounded being attaching no inward emotions to the situations and the mind pretends as if looking as a supervisor from a long distance.
And the last para... beautiful!

Thanks Baino! Wish I had the energy to write "impassioned" more often, but it all tends to go to my children and my job!
ReplyDeleteCheers to you! Thanks for the compliment.

Nah, too busy drowning and fighting others' battles.
