Thanks you for sharing FRIEND this is a very intriguing poem ~ full of agony but with touches of ecstasy. I like the time line in your final line. Broken at 14 ~ that makes me ashamed to be a Man. What type of Man treats an innocent young Virgin like dirt ? Stable at 18 ~ That rings true I work with Teens and it does take 4 years for an abused Young Lady to stabilse so you are not alone. Whole again at 22 ? Another four years ~ that depends on a lot of factors ! Verses 1 to 3 suggest that you have been willing to enter into a relationship with another MALE and this has been touched with ecstasy (kisses ~ tenderness) but it is beginning to end and that is causing you another kind of pain ! In verse 4 you hark back to other experiences of intimacy ~ but tell us that your connection (experience) is deeper than with the person who abused you (@ 14). I learn something from all my intimate liaisons with Ladies nd I have been both hurt and cherished ~ love is like that. My philosophy is better to have loved and lost ~ than never to have experienced intimate love. This is much easier for Man to state than a Lady. I trust that soon you will find True Love. If all your experience of intimacy is positive and not aggressive you could well be WHOLE AGAIN by 22 ~ just have Faith and avoid heartless Lovers ! Thinking of you ~ Praying for you ~ Your Friend BRIAN I love the poem despite the sadness of some of the content. Please check my poems ~ Yours B

WELCOME SD Thanks for your first poem ~ elegant and so full of pathos. Sadness ~ desperation ~ pain. Crying over lost and unrequited love. More please ~ BRIAN
