Numb

I’ve loved.. Deeply loved some men Even those who were not mine I loved then and still in love now Even after I knew some were taken I have felt guilt, embarrassment, disgust and hopelessness I have been admonished, rejected, insulted, and hated A broken heart whispers..asking me to stop To stop the pain, panic,…
