Broken Love (Free verse) by Cougarchic
Blonde hair, blue eyes, the perfect male specimen A black-belt in karate I should have known better I should have known better with the temper you had I didn't know I thought it was love What a sick joke that was You said you loved me And like a fool I believed you You promised me the world You didn't deliver You destroyed my world The fight was simple The day before you had broken my hand You didn't believe me I needed a break so I started to pack I told you I needed time You said it wasn't going to be that easy I bent down to pack my clothes A flash of color A sharp sudden pain in my mouth I spit blood You sat me down and said we weren't finished yet You said we needed to talk some more You turn to fix the stereo I see my chance to run I hop off the bed and sprint to the door I get in my car and drive to the hospital As I lie on my back getting my jaw wired shut I wonder was it worth it You broke my jaw, my heart, and my trust Now at least for the next six weeks I have a constant reminder of the pain love can cause

Up the ladder: Alone
Down the ladder: Last Kiss

Hmm. I've never really felt love, and I thought that was painful, the DESIRE. But I've never had a broken jaw.Owww
