Badgered
promised
worn down
told
you were enough
you were the one
I had been waiting for
the one
who would hurt me no more.
Prophesied
spells cast
love runes scratched
fate waited
whispers across the seas
I knew
I could feel
you coming for me.
Bow before
on my knees
supplication
eyes adore.
I see you
really see you
beneath
bluster
contained rage
desire
want
a place to lay
weary head
tired body.
Daddy’s babygirl
my gift to you
spurned
repudiated
tears falling
pain crawling
trust gone…..
I have been left
alone
bereft
lowly creature
it is not I
who fucked up.
