It was never my place to judge you
Why is it yours
To judge me?

Ellis Reyes Jun 2021

If you care
As much as you say that you care
Why would you do that?

Ellis Reyes Jun 2021

Ancient words
Conceal my prayers
From hostile modern ears

Ellis Reyes Jun 2021

When no one else is
You are
There for me

My Eshet Chayil, my "Woman of Valor", for 34 years.

Betrayal is bitter herbs
Leaving a permanent
putrid aftertaste.

Ellis Reyes Jun 2021

You will never know
How much
I didn't trust you....

Ellis Reyes Jun 2021

The bleeding has slowed
You can remove your knife
From my back
