Tempered Sentiments

Tempered Sentiments- a Poem

Virtuous woman, what 
A thing of the past
Resolve, compassion, dignity, and the like
Dissolving over time
Into the abyss

Softness given freely
Hearts willing to give
Discarded, taken for granted, time again
The point of no return
Is when she says, No

Get out my face and go
Softness gone, heart shut
Willing, no longer, spent are days in limbo
Virtuous she remains
Now, the wall is up

Check out Delicate Flower, She Be

Thank you all for taking the time to read my poem. 🙏🏽
