You know not how to stitch a
Wound, to tend it so it heals.
You can only twist the knife.

Disclosure and Consequences
I opened the door to the
World, said what I thought and
Believed. I was stomped on and
Crushed. I learned to be what I
Was expected to be. I
Shut and locked the door, tightly.
Stained
Besmirched and dishonored, yet
It’s only I who know how
I’ve soiled my legacy
Parasite
The narcissism of your
Depression debilitates
Me, drains me of love for you
Reconstructed
One day I will be over
This broken brain, shattered heart,
And I won’t know you at all.
Haven
Where can I be safe?
How can I escape?
When will you forgive?
Demeanor
They ask how I can be so
Calm with all that’s happened. I
Am frozen with fear and pain.
Before and After
I thought I knew you before
We entered quarantine, that
Our shared experiences
Would carry us through the worst
Of times. You are a stranger.
Perhaps you always have been.
Dark Thoughts
They infest me, burrow through
My skin, prey on my peace of
Mind, leaving me hollowed out.
Break me open and feast on
My substance, for I am so
Desecrated, empty, dead.
