Collateral Damage

 



Horrific nightmares -

haunting from days old

sculpted

&

molded

this vessel's present tense -

battered, broken and bruised

 

 

Whip flashing Memories -

innocence cornered

cowering

&

trembling

over-powered by an abomination -

thieved by a known stranger

 

 

Diminishing love -

unconditional

fades

&

disappears

beneath marring gropes -

a demon spawn emerges

 

 

Diseased lust -

infection spreads

ordering

&

intimidating

mercilessly enforce -

manifestation of welted flesh

 

 

Invisible scars -

decades deep

bubble

&

resurface

removing blinding veils -

resurrection of past ordeals

    It's those inside scars that seem to never heal, always re-surfacing and creating pain. I know this dear one. I too have the reoccurring nightmares that sit with me in the day. This poem pulls fiercely at the heart strings. Very vivid and filled with reasons why we sometimes look back with bitterness. Excellent! You know I wish you well in this contest, and everything you chose to do in life.


    Always ♥

    Sorrowful

    The word combo "known stranger" hit me hard. I am so sorry you suffered this. You have depicted it hauntingly. Wringing beauty from ugly horror, good on you! Well done!

    Very power-filled piece. Those decades deep scars are so very hard to heal.

    Often left festering for years, or covered by self-medicating, even time heals the wounds, the scars are still quite sensitive!

    Bravo!

    Wonderful!!!!!!

    I too know of the return of the
    haunting pains from the past.
    Just when you think it's long buried.
    It reappears with a vengeance.
    Roses to you
