A cleave poem by Maggie Horton
May 9, 2009
I don’t want to hear – those final words – but, tell me now
What you have to say – can not be anything – to change how I feel
Your honesty means nothing – but everything – in this moment
You used and abused me – now you want this to stop – I’m fine with it
But, you’re holding me, –my heart is in your hands, – and I’m yours to break
And I feel lost – I feel like giving up – but, I’m already broken.
Finally, your love for me is showing – through your integrity – so, why do I bother?

I love this one. Is it supposed to be a 4-way? Because I read it all of those ways and it worked to me, except for the work but. which only worked sometimes. Great write! Gail
