Jilted

“To belittle, you have to be little.”
―Kahlil Gibran

Jilted

by Carmen H Gray

I have been jilted

By love (?)

My heart misshapen and stilted

My anger fueled

Slander, curses, vilification

I was fooled

Only it is your ego

The hurt child that resides

Feeding  your false credo

Holding you captive

From the truth

From the real wound

Keeping your soul aloof
