No Harm Poem by Claire Abbott

My eyes still sting with tears when I see you,
when I smell your smell and see your smile.
My head spins as I try to make sense of these feelings,
you abused me so why am I hugging you?

I suppose that the bond is still there deep within,
and no matter what you did,
I don't want no harm to come of you,
when you are in a foreign country, fighting a foreign war.

I did love you once, very much so,
I do love you deep down,
but I cannot be in love with you,
you hurt me too much and way to deep.

Yet, today was different, you apologised,
you spoke words in a different way.
You had changed, war has done you good.
Maybe you have grown up now and realised what you lost.

And I know you have said these words before,
but it was different we both know that.
I am sorry too.
However much I hate what you did,
I love you somewhere for who you are,
and no matter what happens, I don't want harm to come of you.
