Again and again
A kiss exchanged for a piece of me
Steadily fading away
Vanishing into the mouths of men
They care nothing for me
Nor I for them
Bows in my hair
Clothes donned with care
Tears swept aside
So much effort lost
To the inattentive eye
I’m a fragile package
Patched with care
Chipped and ragged
A state of disrepair, despair
Numbed from repetition
Baited. Hooked. Released.
Lost to my worth
Played for gratification
The lies
Expectations
Distortions of half-truths
I bought them all
Run ragged
Through Runway
Mere shades of Beauty
Led me to fall
Feeling ****** yet finally
Learning slowly
The meaning of
For Who I am
Searching for the One
Who accepts this gift fully
I found myself as I was received
The Giver, He gifted me
