Flawed

written by: Danielle Harrison

@dannibear1461

Biting at my ankles
Perilous abstract darts
Casting away, steel cold shackles
Surreal shattering
Untamed affection
Stained glass windows
Blackened for satisfaction

Diminishing light
Of another soul
Alleviating passion
Swallowing whole
Shards of light, shine away
Belief within
Inscribed scars, stay

I am a mum to two boys whose passion is words. My words are simple.
