Hurt

Devil that tore inside my soul 
Ripped to tread for life not to know
Taken what’s mine block out of mind
Friend of hurt who stole my kind

Love so near the secrets to hide 
Began the day when sat in the chair 
Cutting to fall piece by piece 
Breathing of shivers palms no see

Stair by stair tremble of steps 
Blind of fog shadow of night 
Locked inside no words of sound 
Blackened out the tears that drowned 

Healing of grief repressed to show 
Marks of truth on body to hide 
Head of sores the wall that stands 
Alone to freeze eternity land 

Freeze to stick the times to show 
Heart no beat veins that blocked 
Flashing back bare foot to run 
Gasp of breath when my life was done 

Child of me grown up of fright 
Hiding of life that was not right
Wanting to voice but frightened to tell
lies to keep or going to hell

June that last stanza is so powerful, it makes this powerful poem ten times more powerful.
