Lies turned me inside out;
I always believed life would be fair—
beautiful.
Lured by his honey words,
I turned the devil toward my soul—
naïve boy.
Blinded by his beauty,
I always believed he would be there—
lustful fool.

something to numb the past and silence
warm, fragile tears revealed I am loved
while my moist lips trembled
a rush of warmth as I remembered
wrapped me in snug warm wool
the soil soaked in my hurried hurt
