Mended

Submitted by Michael Anthony on Thu, 2024-05-30 09:49

Having been in love a number of times,
my past hearts live in me like wounds
that no longer need dressing.

But a very small part of me
will always be in love with the scars
of the time spent there.

I like the title"Mended".
The theme is one that many hearts have sung and lived through.
I was hooked from the "Having been in love..."
Nicely done sir, ~ Geez.
.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
