A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes

Be Gentle With My Heart

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
be gentle with my heart
don't rip it into pieces,
an offering
at the altar for the lost

where were you
when my knees bled
over broken glass

nobody was in my corner
when bullies shot me
with their hate-loaded guns

 

eventually ...
I graduated from the school of hard knocks
 

I had a baby girl
when I was a baby girl
playing house


no marriage proposal
or wedding ring
or man on his knees
no one walked me
down the aisle

 
 

no real everlasting love
because you couldn't
the way I deserved
