Array ( [sid] => 104276 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Soften Hardened Scar Tissue [time] => 2005-08-24 01:24:42 [hometext] => This is about my last boyfriend and our relationship and what was left of me after it was over. And how I am now trying to heal from all that happened. [bodytext] =>

Just an extension of my mind
bleeding out into my hand.
You entwined the barbed wire
about my neck
and hung me from the rafters of your mind
to dry.

Deserving of each demeaning act,
my body was your body’s slave.
You tormented my mind
with your touch
and left me with festering wounds to join
the worms.

Street signs warned and guided
and I fell away from all I held dear.
Innocence handed over
on a plastic plate
destined to burn away to ash in fire
and fade.

Unquenchable secret desire to heal memory
and soften this hardened scar tissue.
Decaying secrets deny
innocence died,
I kneel, entreating resurrection of innocence
and hope.

wow its amazing what 10 hours of sleep can
do the first stanza makes much more sense
now! Yeah, this is a tight poem. I like the line
structure and how each stanza was sort of
written with the same length... I hope that
makes sense lol. I just know that you will
heal from your last relationship and that you
will find the guy that is right for you. Keep up
the writing Kara.

..so laden with grief and sorrow,
but written with passion and such conviction as well..

"You entwined the barbed wire
about my neck
and hung me from the rafters of your mind
to dry."

and

"You tormented my mind
with your touch
and left me with festering wounds to join
the worms."

Penned very well...these words-
