You taught me well
Of this I am sure.
Your love scarred deep,
Like a knife’s jagged edge
Twisted and turned
Leaving an open wound.
You taught me of love.
Your love lies spoke
To my accepting soul.
An eclipse over your heart,
Red eyes beseech me.
If I love you, I let you go.
I let you go.
The knife twists another turn.
Damn your smile
And those trusted eyes.
Damn the promises
Turned to lies.
Pain-filled heart,
Torn by the knife
Twisting and wrenching.
You taught me well
Of this I am sure.
Strengthened am I.
Independent, I fly.
But damn your smile,
And those trusted eyes.
