Your fist is numbing the skull
Around my eye
And I sink into waves of air
As my head slips between the realization
That your promises are scattered
In broken egg shells
Across the floor.
Author notes
"jungle fever"
I chose option 8
this is about sexual abuse, and about the mental/emotional absense involved, which is why it isn't so straitforward or graphic, this is my experience with it, it's more of another let down, another broken promise, another sigh and getting it over with as quickly as possible.
the numbing in the first line is getting hit in the face, or hurt in any way, and the way your whole body is just numb and lifeless.
i hope it'll make sense.
it's been my biggest secret for years.

Im sorry about this experience. I know abuse is hard to deal with. I dont know first hand about sexual abuse but im sure its probably harder to handle. thank you for entering.
