Sally Zaragoza Poet Free verse

The Wound of You

No a cutter
no
scars yes
self inflicted indirectly
addicted to the cycle
of made up rejection
back streaked
from lies believed
breastplate deflated
promises almost kept 
just another ride
to end with my stomach in my throat
eyes stretched and slightly burnt from
betrayals made in dark and tight spots
The wound of you
carried deep
stitched tight
The wound of you

Very well done Sally Zaragoza August 21, 2017 at 9:53 PM Hello there! Thank you I appreciate your comment. I enjoy the comments and I'm enjoying that I can put some of my baggage to rest.
