I will be a lady

I will be a lady
and you will betray me
in the end
because you are still
looking for clandestine stars
and the rush from lustful
fantasies that I cannot fulfill

I will be a lady
even after you are gone
I will sit at my table
sipping tea while you
chase after the sun that
was never meant for you

I will be a lady
even after you shatter
my heart like a vase
and I will piece it back
together eventually

    You're a lady
    For your heart
    Is filled with love
    And hope
    That knows no bounds.

    As Grace writes, you're stronger than you realize, even though, you may be hurting, right now. It takes courage, to share your heart, like this poem does.
