This is for Lila in Rhode Island who emailed me her suggestion for heartache and redemption as this weeks' Haiku Monday topic.
 

In time this too will

become just a memory

that you wll cry for

I once knew a boy

who'd taken my innocence

and made me wicked

I've given you me

In return you gave me pain

Now I give you hate

My sorrow is not

a tool you can use for your

manipulation

He was once my all

He was once my everything

Now I am much more

I saw him walk by

My eyes sprung tears like faucets

I'm now over him

Someone new is here

One who loves me completely

That someone is me
