Deborah Dambani Poet Light Verse

Betrayal

I'm not scared anymore,
to show you my scars,
cos they are old now,
and they don't hurt anymore.

take the bandages off, 
I'll let you,
I'm not scared anymore,
can't you feel it?
my heart thuds with yours.


It's dark I know
but you can handle the flaws,
can't you hold it?
The hate?
 

I spoke too soon
you did the very worst
you took a knife
and cut the darkened flesh
and let fresh blood sip.

old scars cut new can hurt.

Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon January 2, 2017 at 4:18 AM O! Deborah, I really smpathize with you. A secret secret is the one within you and you yourself, once it is between you and another person, it is no longer a secret. It sucks! Your last stanza is though provoking and it triggered my emotions. Keep calm dear, when a door of happiness closes, many better one opens but we overly linger on the closed door that we fail to see the many better ones. Much joy to your soul, Deborah.
