C*****

You’d been hurt so much

And desperately needed a touch

Of love and care.

Someone to stroke your hair

And to say that you are special

That despite the years of hell

You still could be loved.

You started to trust me

Yet you couldn't see

That I couldn't give

All that you needed to live

In a safe, happy, world.

You completely opened up, unfurled

Yourself to be told, by me,  you couldn't be loved.

10^th May 1993, St. Petersburg, Russia.
