Your Words

Your words,
  a rapier through my heart.
I bleed
  from a wounded soul.
My tears, 
   a salty river.
Trust is a past, not present, concept.
I am no longer me.
Your words
   have forever changed me.

This is a heart-rending write. Very impressive. Thanks for notifying me of the win of my poem Winter Be Gone, Francine. I regret the error in your first name caused by my optical illusion. It has since been corrected. Regards. -Mohammad
