Karmic Ties
A Sonnet; Poem : By Jessica Banda
I thought loving thou was my deserving
Thee hurt thou has engraved on my soul
Must thy teach me such when my hearts yearning
For now my love, my soul thou must condole
.
Thy tongue is as sharp as the winter winds
To thee am of no truth, my words be taxed
My brain feels mad but my heart comprehends
My feelings abhor ; I’m mentally banjaxed
.
In public eyes a caring, loving man
Thou do no wrong ; manipulations thy sword
Thy high on hypocrisy , better than
Gaslights me crazy; thy always adored
.
To be loved and honored like I love ; rare
For I give and love with my soul ; top-tier
