[hometext] => A scar, a wound, a broken heart, nothing left to heal
[bodytext] => ---------_________------------------ Please excuse me while I collapse. The armor of denial has begun to act to my detriment. No longer able to support the columns of sorrow and illusion, I slump to the ground. Regret would only clutter the beautiful pile of rubble Discovering your disillusion is like getting cut by both the bottle and the message inside. That innermost thought, that solitary feeling nearly bleeds out as you cover your wound to shield it from other eyes. My damage is superficial. My soul, caught and torn on the rocks continually pounded by the waves dragging me away, the undertow is drowning slammed again into the kelp, The ocean froths and boils regardless of the contents and I am beaten down without a thought A glance through ancient eyes many years dead Reveals the new wisdom however temporary Against the push, the rebellious stumble towards the future And find that creation is all their fault A wound, however fresh still bleeds and the pain is forever a memory A scar is not demanding of attention but a broken heart is long in healing without it.
