I’m only apprehensive
Because I’ve been betrayed
I’m only nervous
Because I’ve fallen
I’m only sheltered
Because I’ve been hurt
I’m only tense
Because I’ve felt pain
I’m only afraid
Because I’ve been naïve
I’m only guarded
Because I’ve been attacked
Because I’ve been let down
I’ve been battered
I’ve been bruised
I’ve been betrayed
I cannot change this
If you can accept my faults
If you can you can accept my fear
Then you can have the pieces
Of an abused heart

It’s very calm over here. You can leave comments like these, and we can sit together and watch them ‘fly way’, into a sunset or such. Remember that an abused heart at least got used by some abs.
Comments can fly? If I can find a way to make the comments fly on this website I think google would buy it from me tomorrow!
I feel like you’ve known me all my life, that you’ve read my autobiography or you’ve watched me as if my life was a film. The thing about poetry is that the poet knows how to reach the reader, relate to them in some form or fashion. And I must say that you’ve done so with this piece. This work should be titled my name instead of I’m only….very nice indeed. Truly touched…
