Indented

By cadymae

Hollowing me out
creating a void
whose outline
fits only you

I resent my craving you

You strike and carve
leaving signet marks
within me

I sit demure to hid them from myself
and others,

                             who'd remark

and note among themselves
that I'm soft enough to mark.

They had no idea.
Neither did I.

    Never too old or wise to fall hard, even when knowing the odds, but we just gotta hope that this time it's for real, cheers!

    I was worried this would be misinterpreted to mean physical abuse. I forgot this is DarkPoetry and y'all get it! Love is dark too. And my goodness Love Bruises....
