Poetic Anemones

Mirror Mirror reflect me not
Cannot return the guilt I've bought
I won't be fooled by selfish traits
Or desperate love and shrouded hate
I've been the tortured soul too long
Beaten though I've done no wrong
Oh how I wish the words we shared
Were held so feelings could be spared
I dodged and ducked your every blow
I clutched at you then let you go
In pique you up and disappeared
Torment with silence is what I feared
Nevertheless I wait for you
Redress the breach all I can do
Yet given chance I'd still not yield
But suffer till my wounds are healed
And even if we're deeply scarred
To you the threshold can't be barred
For home is always where you're found
And rest will come when safe and sound
