Sacrificing Sanity

broken men need love, but so do you

Codependents

Stalkers

Sometimes even psychopaths

Orphans

Addicts and alcoholics

Men whose fathers did not hug them

They creep in through the window

But we knew they would

For we are the ones who left it

Cracked

The broken are drawn

To the Givers

of Compassion

Stability

Healing

Life

But they are also drawn

To the damaged

But these men are not broken

Simply a tad bit bent

Aren't we all

But some borrow

And steal

Never to return

Dreams

Sanity

Soul

They are neither blind

Nor entirely ignorant

Women like us

People like us

We are not difficult to read

You can often see it on our face

Mercy

Desire

Hope

Do not let them in

Stop

Believing you can save them

You can not

Feral

Reckless

Unwilling to change

Why would they try

One whisper of our name

Echoes through our mind

And we come running

Save yourself.
