Writers Wednesday 7/26

Finally, another writers Wed! Sorry it's been so long. Here is a poem I wrote.

When I Gave You My Heart

When I gave you my heart
I didn't expect you to give it back,
bleeding internally,
crushed by your inhumane abuse.

My heart was strong,
made of arms of steel.
But it could not compete
with your heart of rage.

Your angry fists pound me
like an earthquake beating the earth.
The sharp words you speak
lash me in the face, as if

a train passed through my heart.
Our vows are lies,
a thunderstorm of brutality
wiping out my last defense.
