Daylight hours too, <br />Can be insidiously cruel. <br />I'm sunshine on a cloudy day, <br />And I'm nobody's fool. <br />My manners will last longer, <br />Than any pain he can bestow. <br />The lessons from my intimates, <br />Outlive the insults he can throw. <br />There are still rainbows <br />Where my heart beats. <br />Look! He is walking <br />up the wrong street <br />For I am no longer his home <br />...... <br /> <br />© 2012<br /><br />Ruby Honeytip<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-under-my-bed/
