Not A Moment Too Soon

I was…

Sharp angles, bruised edges-
Jagged teardrops upon your face…
Shattered by a woman’s love,
Shy of obligatory space…

I was…
Intermediate obsession-
Transitional disgrace,
Sentimental failure-
Yet curious of your taste…

I was…
Functionally challenged-
Less obedient of need,
Belligerent aggressor-
Yet demanding of your lead…

I was…
Condolence of a heartache-
Missionary of decree,
Assignment to a loneliness-
Yet you still made me bleed…

I am…
A woman of proud confidence-
Whose stars shine brighter now,
One of pure indifference-
To “What could have been-right now..."

I am…

A statutory candidate-
For silver butterflies at noon,
I now believe that love has come-
And not a moment too soon…



Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...
