Secrets lining the corridor to my past
Tattered, torn, sheltered from the judging eyes
who deem themselves better than I.
Cobwebs cling from above Black Widow of sorts
DEAD center. Deaths caused by fate, drown me
several times over.
~Even Still~
Some leaving me frozen in time, cold to the touch.
Frightened of thawing….of feeling…of loving.
Bittersweet to love, means to one day lose.
A hard lesson learned.
~Even Still~
Friendships, once bright with forever,
fade to gray, to darkness.
Shadows remain there in the stillness
echoes of laughter, tears, remnants of roads begun,
but not seen through.
~Even Still~
Heart left bruised by my trust in my toxic friend.
Whose children I long to see, to hold, to comfort
Steel door slammed shut, dead bolted by my brain
but not my heart…..it still cries.
~Even Still~
Marriages, only one of my own…a few husbands “borrowed”
Broken vows, tarnished with lies…not of this woman’s soul
not always anyway.
~Even Still~
“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”
No room for shame, for what is done, IS DONE.
No u-turns in this life.
No second chances. No use living in regret.
~Even Still~
History remains buried beneath the dust
of tomorrows long past, for the tomorrows
yet to come…a map, a guide, a lesson to be learned.
~Even Still~
