TRUST IN AN ALIEN

in #poem • 6 years ago

I was a broken butterfly
Battered, shamed
My wings, ripped
Rendered unable to fly

I was the gloom of the night
My tears, daily dropped
My heart, weary and wrought
I had been broken by love
One, whom with no restriction
I gave all my trust

I had been beaten
Forcefully taken
Over, and over
Till my life, hovered

In the dead of the night,
I had been pushed away
Naked and hungry
Wounds boiling
Salt upon injury
Yet, I never made the jury

It was you
You picked me up
Scared, like a lost cat
I mewed and scratched
But you, you always returned
Until slowly, I learned to trust

My wings, you sewed back
My wounds, you cleaned
My soul, you healed
My tears, you dried
Like your spirit,
You tended to mine

Slowly, but surely
You made me whole
In your eyes,
I saw it all
The will to live, you returned to me
The strength to fight, I found inside

In your eyes
I saw the truth
In your act, I felt it too
When you said you love me
I'm sorry I flinched
I have known love
It wasn't like this
No, this
Is Alien

This is a Raktism i got from someone who now and always will mean so much to me. The theme of the season is love and so it is my new wine of the week. Loving is not all about kisses and chocolates, it is about mending a broken heart and setting a caged spirit free.
