Relapse

Broken promises
Dagger through the heart
Silent heaving sobs
Why did it start?

Healing wounds
Comforting words
Relapsing Pain as
Photos return.

Haunting love
Tainting its name
Dagger through the heart
Overwhelming shame.

Thank you for sharing your heart with us through your poetry here at PoetrySoup Katie. My time for reading and commenting will be short until after the New Year. So, today I send a wish from my house to yours. Have a Joyous Holiday and a Happy New Year. Please remember the sick and hungry in your prayers daily. Do all you can to help in anyway you can. Love and blessing, Carol and Family (Your smile can warm a heart)
