Merging Of Wounded Souls

An edited version of my poetic response to, Jacob Erin-Cilberto's poem, "Mute Marionettes". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/erin-cilberto/1147256/

Am
But a pale reflection
Of the hurt.

Which

Cuts so deep
When you look
At me.

Of
Past hurts
That I placed
Upon your heart
And soul.

Two
Wounded souls.

Who were

Never meant

To embrace
But did.

As I
Walk away
Tears streaking
Down my soul.
