She came
with a warning label.
Tattered and tied
with rasping
twine
that you,
wearing
your best
emotional mittens
found
unfathomable
as your eyes
unwittingly
whispered
'come hither'
and
invited
her in
& to
ride
roughshod
across
your
heart.
Ahhhh, this is sad. Very poignant piece, very well observed :o(
