he is a coward
August 26, 2015
he once stopped by
and promised to resolve
my shattered bones.
he dried my tears,
placed a candle in my heart,
with no flame.
he proclaimed,
I will never abandon you.
then he left.
he left to have sex
with violence
like John Wayne.
he showed up
again, but never
returned.
