Dusty Poems 26

The poem below is from the Dusty Poems series, a collection of poems I wrote many years ago, long before I knew how much of a force poetry would be in my life. I’ve enjoyed going through these old poems that contain a completely different voice and style than I write poetry now, but have been interesting to reflect on. I hope you enjoy them, too.

You give me heartache
You give me pain
A package of lies is how you came
You swear you’re different
Honesty and loyalty is what you claim
But in the end, you’re exactly the same
