Love Gone Wrong Poem by Faith Elizabeth Brigham

your words you
used as weapons
to bully and degrade
have left their
welts well buried
inside my shattered heart
feeling guilty for the
harm you caused
is not within
your troubled soul
you've rationalized
each wrongful act
your heart so very cold

i thought you'd love me
forever and a day
but now i know
that caring is not
your coarse hearts way
i cannot take
you back now i've
found some peace of mind
i'm searching for a love
that i can trust this time
