DEFLATED
I will throw you a rope.
Rescue you.
Provide you a future and
Charm your existence
He promised.
She trusted, tentatively
Having heard such promises
Previously
And watched
As the dust of them
Drifted from
Her fingers.
Eventually
She softened
Her centre
And trusted.
Reaching for his
Proffered Lifebelt
Little suspecting
It harboured
A
Slow Puncture.
Another great piece of prose Pen! xx
