Beyond Beautiful Hearts
Susceptible Scars
I've found myself
forgotten -
impetuously
deserted
cast aside
like the leaves on the trees
almost magically -
intentions, magnified
swiftly carried away
on an intended breeze
abandoned
on cold city streets
nothing of me
was considered to stay
when everything I loved
chose
to walk away
with no words to say
a ripple lost in the waves
smiles given
given back
a faded rose
on the grave
predisposed and
imagined
everything lacking
discarded
out of fashion
faded beyond memory
no value
to be seen
exchanged
fantasy
ones unanimously viewed
as much
lovelier than me
imprints made
now
aptly applied
and put into motion
for the beauty
"in the eye"
came disguised
as a trojan
became truth
beyond question
my own views
distorted
every transgression
cataloged
and sorted
until all I could see
was their vision of me
discarded
unworthy
like those abandoned leaves
discarded in eaves
rotting
forgotten
in piles on the street
