Daggers
Daggers I stare into the eyes of strangers
A warning to all to stay away
To seem intimidating and fiercesome
So as to prevent unwanted lust
Daggers that stab into my soul
From friends who become ghosts
Disappearing when I need them most
Their offer of help, only a mirage
Daggers killing my broken heart
The trauma and the damage that can't be undone
Forever wounded, never to heal
For time cannot heal wounds in the mind
Daggers I carry to protect myself
Along side my crystals and jewelry
For this world is evil and unforgiving
For the lonely woman that is me
