Alieana Smokes Poet Free verse

Advice To Those Who Plan To Love the Broken: Don'T

And I lay flat with him,
as he took the stars out of is pocket 
and placed them back in the sky; 
lighting my whole world again
like you once did.

but you taught me better
than to love someone who
takes my soul swimming in depths
where my mental sanity drowns.

and I'll teach all those after me:
Do not stay if the glass is shattered,
you will bleed out before picking up all the pieces.

Darren White March 10, 2017 at 4:11 AM This imagery is so great, so wonderfully written.... But it is also so true. But how do you abandon a love that is so true, it's so difficult.
