You must believe
I’m made of stone
My heart
Encased in steel
One look
I breathe
One touch
I’m free
One cruel word
Banishes me
Jettisoned
Orbiting misery
Heart clenched
Bracing me
Preemptively
I know too well the
Punishment I motivate
Silence you demonstrate
Gut wrenching pain
Pushes pink clouds away
Fostering darkened skies
Banished to the corner
Broken and torn
Somewhere inside
The depths of your mind
A dark corner
You’ve labeled mine
Just one word: beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful misery... A pain I would guess many know, yet find hard to articulate. Well done
ReplyDeleteThis encompasses my thoughts and feelings so beautifully and thoroughly - I became one with the words, as if you had looked into my heart and wrote what you saw.
ReplyDeleteWell done. Thank you for sharing.
"One touch I'm free" That is how it goes; it's what we always want. When the ache is stunning, there is a lady wookie poem. xo
ReplyDeleteLovely and wrenching. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteWell written and yes manny do feel like that but suffer in silence!
