Strands of Dust

The sweetest

Cruel addiction broke me apart

Leaving me with the lingering taste

Of a forbidden kiss

Craving more I turned on you

Turned on everything we had before

And now I’m broken

Torn in two

There’s nothing left for me to do

But tie my hands

And seal my mouth

Slice my fingers

And still my tongue

I ache

I crave

I desire

I lust

And at the end

There’s nothing left

But grainy sand

A shattered rock

And strands of

Dust

Again such powerful emotions and words in this poem. I love the picture you chose for the poem, they go together well. He heart th speaker very much but I can tell she is angry despite feeling broken. Anger isn’t bad I hint it’s justified. She can be angry so she can realize her own strength. That she can overcome even him who she loved and betrayed her.

  I love your comments Mandi, thank you, I have been re-reading them, there is truth in what you say. She loved and there was anger at the betrayal.
