Driving Nails

 

I saw her standing

On the precipice of love,

Trembling, crying,

A lover gone,

The dust of deceit

Swirling around

Her feet,

The emotions

Of being used,

Truth abused

Tying her in

Internal knots,

There was little

I could do

To ease her pain,

 Sadly listening to

The rhythmic ring

Of her hammer

Driving nails

Into the door

To her heart,

Swearing never

To giver herself again.
