Shadows

' When you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives'- Lauren Eden

the hopeless frenzy of this wicked hour stares
from broken mirrors
this fractured visage shaken
this worn love, a hardened scab
tempting to be plucked
and promising not to bleed
this time
love is such an impatient
healer
