By Kendra L., Arlington, MA

   You marched into my life

bold

brazen

beautiful.

You took without giving

selfish

savage

seductive.

I gave without thinking

foolish

feverish

fascinated.

I had dreams, but you took those, too

boasting

bitter

brutal.

Then I saw, and pushed you away

shocked

scarred

safe.

Now I look back, and feel only pity

forgetting

forgiving

free.
