Unrequited Dreams

An expanded and edited version, of my poetic response, to Tina Louise's poem, "Broken Dreams". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/TiaLouise/1336926/

How I would love
For him.

To be forced

In having to walk
A day
In my shoes.

To understand the pain
Which he inflicted
Upon me.

Able to fathom
The damage done

To my body

And soul.

But my dreams
Shall remain
Unfulfilled
For now.

Knowing

Healing takes times

Before done.
