FREE VERSE Poem: FRAGILE, by Amanda Earley

Don’t understand stupid me,
Your passion and warm embrace?
Although the wind howled, and it woke me as I felt it brush across my face, you felt it too
But as the warmth of our bodies merged we soon forgot the world outside .
A sense of peace submerged and pushed the banshee away.
Fragile is the heart and head but still a sense of darkness lurked and loomed, words said
in jest and haste hidden feelings charading wit with scorn,
Fragile is the mind assembling words into a tidal wave of cloaked anger.
Sadness engulfed me as I knew the debris of words touched only the surface.
I left with heavy heart, hoping to hear your pounding feet a breathe away, to no avail .
Fragile is love, dreams disintegrated like ashes in the wind.
From the remnants of the storm lay the shipwrecked chests filled with moments of time
all laid out for me to view like a mental crime scene filled with words and actions, not
knowing who had slayed who.
So much hurt and pain and here I am pounding on this Iron vaulted wall, my tears and
voice disappear into an abyss of void.
You said you would never hurt me
You lied
