For Mr. Alford

Stephanie Alford
He made a promise
That he'd love me forever
Which turned out to be
Only eight months
Months that were spent
In constant anguish
Emotional torment
Torturing me
In a way
I never even knew existed
I abolished the idea
That love could exist
I felt that way
For years
Until I met
The one who changed
My entire perception
He showed me
How wrong I was
And changed me yet again

I've returned from my little emotional sabbatical. Much better now.  View profile

    Just when you think you can NEVER love and go there again, love walks into your life. I think a lot of people can relate to this, Steph. So glad to see you are back. I knew you would be, thankfully for us. Five stars for being so honest and revealing your soul to us. This piece has a vulnerability to it that appeals to me.
