Because I loved you, I let you
Underneath my
Tough layers through to the
Tender parts of my heart. The
Oath I gave was
Never designed to 
Sanction you to hurt me.

Dear Charlotte, there is beauty in sadness and pain as your expressive acrostic shows. The imagery of both your title and your poem evoke a heartbreak of emotion. Your last three lines are as impactful as they are true. Deeply touching poetry. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
