betrayal and lies (poem) by Josephine M Bohen on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on May 13, 2003

Josefina,
I see you...
Tears, when mixed in the earth, does then cast new life, dawning from the earth, as flower, our yea, just recompence and reward.
Rodney Evan Bohen

would that I were beat blue and black
a busted lip a broken arm
an outward mark to show the world
I hurt
can you see me in my pain

wonder now if I will ever feel safe
again
sheltered protected
loved
will I ever hope to rest alee
I can�t see that now
I can�t hope that now
I can�t feel that now
so naive to give my heart
it won�t happen
again

i felt this to the very bones and i don't understand how one person can do this to another. It may be in the past and if this is a real memory then i am sorry you had to experience it
