When a heart is broken, Why doesn't she run?Why must she seek out perpetrators Until granted permission to hurt, Until bestowed validation In accordance with presently felt brokenness?Seeking intimacy with abusers of proximity.Seeking depth of awareness By those willing to tear her apart;Willing to piece together an identityNot belonging to them,Yet submissive to their desires … Continue reading Tolls of a Heart Most Loyal

Lost to Constructs of Worth
What is worth, but a social construct?Created by created, For created;None of whom insightful Of what true cost was due.
