Hi there! My friend challenged me to write a poem based on 4 random words she chose out of the results of a random word generator. They were ‘courtship’, ‘exclusive’, ‘shame’, and ‘peel’. This is the result – I hope you enjoy!
You peeled away the layers of me,
Found,
All my secrets and places where
I hide my lies from everyday
life; and in return
For all my private thoughts
You promised an exclusivity to your heart,
And I’m ashamed to say
That I believed that
You’d take care of every part of me.
And when I’d opened up and let you in,
When we’d explored
All the corners of my heart,
I turned to you;
But you were but a silhouette,
An empty shadow, shade
Gone with the morning’s light,
Taking all of me
Away.
A Teacup Full of Stories 
Beautiful poem! My friends and I did this once, but didn’t create anything nearly as beautiful as this. It’s fun, though, and a nice challenge!
