Debt

My debt to you
is this
Turned cheek and not
a kiss
Closed door and not
your friend
No beginning, just
the end

Your debt to me
unpaid
Justice still remains
delayed
You can only be
denied
I hope this wounds
your pride

About Helen

I'm drawn to blogging as a way to share ideas and consider what makes us who we are. Whether it's in our working life or our creativity, expression is a means to connect.

    I’ve had to turn my cheek on quite a few people in my time. More often than not, both cheeks, at once, pants round my ankles.
