You could ravish me behind closed doors, windows and curtains; but would not do so in the daylight.
You could dip your fingers into me, and make me sing such beautiful melodies, but you did not have the courage to be with me in the daylight, in front of the sky and the trees, and others;
and that feeling cuts like knives in the pit of my stomach,
the feeling of shame that had no business living on the inside of my bones in the first place.
Shame that you placed between my ribs.
And fuck you, for ever making me believe that It ever belonged there in the first place, for making me believe that my body was anything less than utterly fucking breathtakingly beautiful.

Angel,
This is a very Poignant,Powerful, and Brave write.
You have unquestionably struck an emotional chord with your readers like myself.
I have felt those knives cutting in the pit in my stomach from someone who broke my heart.
That is the feeling of the butterflies being slaughtered by those knives.
But that is the gift and power of poetry when channeling your pain with heartfelt amazing ink.

It is all part of the healing process and poetry is our underlining medicine.
Just remember that you take back your power and are a stronger individual by sharing your pain through verse.
Life's hard knocks and heartbreaks makes you Wiser.
Just imagine this, if you can care so much for the wrong person in your life then just imagine how much love you will have with Mr, Right!
And make no mistake, ''YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL''!
