I am a creature of extremes Of all or nothing, black or white: I fear I have no middle ground The core of me is hollowed out – Where dwelt the secrets and the dreams The fragile places – ravaged, torn By expectations poisonous By trust beguiling, treacherous; Where tenderness so lately bloomed The earth is barren, desolate A decade's bounty, fondly sown Was by a single stroke undone; I struggle to rebuild myself – Recrystallize, or reinvent – The edges sharp and savage, cruel As winter, deathly beautiful; A story strewn in shattered glass Spills bloody-bright from ruined hands The ending hopelessly amiss It's not supposed to be like this … |

The path gets so lonely in places at times--I've often wondered how a path could exist at all when I've so often felt abandoned and angry at feeling duped by life. You write it much more beautifully than I ever could, dear lady.  |

The beginning of your poem is so powerful, and the intense emotion that followed was a reflection of human nature and the obstacles many of us have come up against a time or two. Good honest poem, enoyed!!! |
