Anna Nomaly Poet Quatrain

My First Heartbreak

I thought i used lotions to make my skin soft and glow

I new deep down it was to soften the blow

I thought I used perfume to smell sweet and fair

I knew deep down it was to clear the air

I thought I dressed smartly to look like more appealing 

It was armor to brace for the knives you were wielding 

I thought I opened up so that you could protect me

I knew deep down you would only reject me

So you did.

As I thought.

With all the precautions I tried to be smart

You still pierced my protection and broke my damn heart
