Love Without

I once knew a love that Made air taste of honey, His mere presence tickled My belly. His words made walls crumble Instantly. Leaving an open space For him to graze. But just as a wolf Would consume their own litter, He Quickly ingested all that I had To give. This man in a mask, exposed His true light, while turning off My switch. After weeks of spring mornings Came bitter winters, that froze The waters of my soul. Now echoes of laughter are Whispers of regret, the truth Slit his twine from my heart. By: Sabina 4/8/13
