the court of hearts
your silence cut me
a sharp blade
drug across my emotions
& i waited for you to say something
anything
but you kept still
left to stew
i brood on my mistakes
giving too much of myself
while you remained stoic
an inpenetrable fortress
where i would be executed for trespass
should i enter your court of hearts
& like a fool i kept talking
telling you all of my secrets
you heard every last one
sometimes i would get a nod of approval
that would keep my feelings flowing
then for months nothing
& i feel you wait on me
when i go silent
you know i'll talk
& keep your ego fed
i've come to the end
i have no more secrets to tell you
& the ones I have left
are mine to keep

oh my love, how I squeeeeeee over the strength in this ink...with each line the power just increases...it makes me think of something I wished to say to someone...it was this..."when one chooses an action or behavior they must also choose to own the consequences" - this goes for everyone and within this write, each lines expresses an action or behavior and there underneath is acknowledging a consequence you suffered by another's hands, that alone is amazing...by the end you have taken the power back...showing exactly how much love and respect you have for yourself...brilliant, profound ink!
I love you fiercely!!!
yours always & forever

Such a strong and, at the same time, beautifully vulnerable piece, beautiful one. Your secrets are worth more than the ears they fall upon. Much love for you, my friend

You remain forthcoming but he keeps silent, his stoicism an obstacle to be surmounted. I'm glad you're holding onto a few secrets. Those are ones he might not deserve. Your heart's in the right court and the result is royal. Excellent write fine lady.

Vulnerability is one of our greatest strengths
and
one of our most potentially damaging attributes.
Beautiful emotional write, Brenda
