Who Broke Me

I sit looking at my half full glass of rum watching as the clear glass sweats and the droplets leave a trail down the sides Funny I see it half full when my life feels half empty I push it away not wanting to drink the "Kool aid".... No it's not what got me to this point but it does taste of lost hope and forgotten dreams Regardless I feel like I'm not real anymore But then who could I be I don't even have my heart any longer.... Foolishnessly I gave it away to someone I thought I could trust and once again Failed miserably.... I so naively I gave it to you.... the only person who broke me.

I was'nt sure if I had read this one before when first glancing at the title...apparently not it would seem -- glad I did read it though! This is you at your very best, Brenda...another gem that is well worthy of a wider audience -- superbly crafted! Most impressed...most impressed indeed. In admiration. :) john

"it does taste of lost hope and forgotten dreams" - sadly, this is true of so many who put their trust and faith into a person who is a conniver and a con.

My first impression is that this broken treasure is awaiting its proper place in life. So one should smile for life isn’t over just yet. My thoughts...INK.
