Saying It Out Loud Poem by Moya Staten

You awaken my love, with no intention to love me,
You sought after my trust, knowing you are not trustworthy,

You forced my heart open; knowing you would eventually hurt me,
Then beg for my commitment, knowing you did not want me! !

You broke my heart in a million pieces, I could not understand, why am I being mistreated,

You look in my yes and saw my pain, and my tear stained face again and again,

How could this be, is this my fate, is this life I asked for, I have never felt so much hate,

I want my dream lover to rescue me, but, do I know him, can he see me,

I am numb with anger, and numb with pain, my tears are bitter, they burn like acid rain.

I must walk away, I must let go, I must do the things, the things I know

Being alone, must be my journey, I am no longer fighting, even though its concerning.

If love is mine it will find me one day, I will love again, and this debt I will repay.

Until then, I am walking away, with hopes that anger & bitterness will stay a bay.

My heart is broken, my soul wounded, but I have a fire in me that that will always keep on burning.
