Redeemed.. Released

For the breakup nonet challenge

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

I found her lying there bruised, bloody

I took her home, fed her, bathed her

Nursed her back to bloom of health

Soothed her painful torment

Taught her to love her

Should have taught her

How to love…

To love

Me
