YOU bent me, my love, <br />your blades penetrated <br />my heart, my soul, my eyes, <br />leaving me with nightmares <br />even in the day. <br />YOU bent me, my love, <br />like a leave dropping to <br />the ground, you catch me, <br />then slam me back down. <br />LIKE a fossil, this love <br />is dead, <br />LIKE laughter, its got to <br />end. <br />YOU bent me, my love, still <br />there is hope, and a hint <br />of love in the air.<br /><br />DAVID GERARDINO<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/taking-notes/
